Students can then connect their creations to the iLumaVest wearable system--programmable LED costumes that light up and respond during movement and performance. Participants don’t just learn coding — they perform it. Perfect for beginners and experienced students alike, Code Can Dance transforms technology into an expressive art form while building confidence, creativity, collaboration, and computational thinking skills.
