CoDHerS Maori Typing Game Workshop
Recently, we developed an adaptive typing game to support learning in endangered languages. In a hands-on workshop, we guided a group of Māori students visiting from New Zealand through the process of creating their own customized games from design to coding and within just two hours, they built typing games in their own language.
