We obviously believe in online education, but there is an undeniable magic to learning together with a group of like-minded people in the same room. There is an energy that’s hard to put into words, as well as the social dynamic that naturally emerges.
It’s simply more fun, and in an increasingly rare way, it creates a shared experience that’s difficult to replicate online. That’s why we decided it’s time to bring back in-person workshops. After all, that’s how we started.
We’ve curated a series of small workshops designed for different audiences. If you enjoy what we have to offer, we’ll continue to expand the program with more events.
To kick off the series, we’re excited to welcome Function Store (aka Dan Molnár) — hands down one of the best teachers and most consistent contributors to the TouchDesigner community. Dan will demystify Python for TouchDesigner, something many of us rely on through copy and paste but rarely understand from the ground up. It’s time to change that with this beginner-friendly, three-hour workshop at our studio.
Now, Python is not the only language we struggle with. Arabic remains a mystery to many of us at NODE — but not to Lynn Maya. The Syrian-born multimedia and audiovisual artist behind many of the NODE Institute’s brilliant soundtracks and fresh social media ideas is here to bridge that gap and present our first-ever workshop in Arabic:
On the other hand, we’re quite familiar with German (Deutsch), although we rarely use it at The NODE Institute because of our highly international team and audience. However, not everyone feels comfortable tackling complex topics in English, which is why we’re introducing a beginner-friendly workshop on visual programming in German.
Led by our co-founder, Stefan Kraus, who has been teaching for more than two decades, this workshop is designed to help participants overcome the first steps of the steep learning curve. It provides a solid understanding of the software, builds confidence in navigating the interface, and lays the foundation for exploring tutorials and more advanced courses afterward.
All of these workshops (and the series will continue) are limited to a maximum of 12 participants, so don’t wait too long—seats are likely to sell out quickly.
We look forward to welcoming you to our studio at Wipperstraße 13, 12055 Berlin.
