"Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again."- Steve Jobs (1955-2011), Founder of Apple and PixarWhy just be consumers when you can be makers and creators?For additional information email info@gizmocats.com or seewww.GizmoCats.com.

Gizmo Cats - Educating the Innovators of the Future

Instead of being limited to playing yet another video game, make the game controller, colour & re-animate the game characters, and change the program through simple block coding.  Limited space, booking is essential.
