2021 Summer Programs
This summer we’re bringing back old classics while also introducing some fresh new additions to our roster of programs!
Story Studio and HighTechU are collaborating this summer to create CodeWords, an 8-week online program designed to teach you how to code and how to tell a story. Participants will create their own ‘interactive fiction’ games: digital choose-your-own-adventures that let the reader determine the course of the story.
Open to youth aged 14-18 across BC
Dates: July 5 – August 27
Location: Online
Registration Deadline: July 11, 2021
Course Fee: $40
Interested in redrawing the map of Victoria – and retelling its story? What if our city was a land of fantasy and fiction? Participants in Imaginary Victoria will work with local authors and illustrators to create an imaginary version of Victoria, and write stories set in this new world. The result? An illustrated digital anthology exploring Imaginary Victoria.
Open to youth aged 12-16 in Victoria, BC

Let your imagination run wild and create the most fantastic story, novel, poem, or script you’ve ever dreamed of! This free 8-week summer program is designed to help launch your writing into the stratosphere!
Choose to write as much or as little as you want – a single scene, or entire chapters. Set your own writing goal to reach during your summer in our online ‘writer’s room,’ where you’ll get weekly advice and support from Story Studio staff, and visiting local authors and illustrators, as you write.
