Aboriginal Territories in Cyberspace is an Aboriginally determined research-creation network whose goal is to ensure Indigenous presence in the web pages, online environments, computer games, and virtual worlds that comprise cyberspace. This page contains multiple Computer games workshops. The Skins Workshops teach Indigenous youth how to adapt stories from their community into experimental digital media, such ascComputer games. “One of our goals is to encourage our youth to envision themselves in the future while drawing from their heritage. We believe this helps to promote and preserve our stories, languages and cultures while also exposing our youth to the digital tools of today and tomorrow. Covering not only Computer games but also machinima and 3D printing, these workshops are designed by an Indigenous-led team to empower Indigenous youth by showing them that they can be producers, not just consumers, of these exciting media.”
