Gamified 3D Solar System Explorer: An Interactive Learning Journey with Three.js
Craft immersive XR educational experiences through declarative 3D rendering with this advanced workshop. Leverage React Three Fiber's component-based architecture to build a gamified solar system explorer featuring dynamic orbital mechanics, interactive raycasting, and WebGL optimizations. Master performance-critical techniques including InstancedMesh implementation, reactive state management, and WebXR integration while creating engaging STEM visualizations. This workshop bridges theoretical physics concepts with practical front-end development, demonstrating how Three.js can transform educational content through spatial computing paradigms.
Agenda:
- Introduction to React Three Fiber and Three.js: Setting up the project environment
- Building the Solar System Scene: Creating planets, orbits, and space backgrounds with animations
- Interactivity and Gamification: Raycasting for object selection and interaction
- Performance Optimization: Using InstancedMesh for efficient rendering
- WebXR Integration: Enabling AR/VR experiences in the browser

Build LLM agents in TypeScript with Mastra and Vercel AI SDK
LLMs are not just fancy search engines: they lay the ground for building autonomous and intelligent pieces of software, aka agents.
Companies are investing massively in generative AI infrastructures. To get their money's worth, they need developers that can make the best out of an LLM, and that could be you.
Discover the TypeScript stack for LLM-based development in this 3 hours workshop. Connect to your favorite model with the Vercel AI SDK and turn lines of code into AI agents with Mastra.ai.Workshop schedule & location
Date & time: TBC. Remote via Zoom.
Trainers
I am a dedicated Computer Science Professor and XR (Extended Reality) Researcher with a passion for leveraging technology to enhance education. As a former Google WTM (Women Techmakers) Ambassador, I have actively contributed to promoting diversity and inclusion in the tech industry.
With a background as a Data Engineer and Full Stack Developer, I bring a strong technical foundation to my role as a professor, allowing me to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the classroom. I am committed to fostering an engaging and inclusive learning environment where students can develop both their technical skills and their creativity.
In my current research position, I focus on exploring the potential of XR technologies in higher education. By harnessing the power of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), I aim to create immersive and interactive learning experiences that enhance student engagement and comprehension.
I am constantly seeking opportunities to collaborate with industry professionals, educators, and researchers to push the boundaries of XR and its applications in higher education. I strongly believe that by embracing emerging technologies, we can revolutionize the way we teach and learn.
