- to This is a past program
Recommended for ages 8–14
What does the video game Fortnite have in common with Shakespeare? Both can teach us about how words and phrases are created and popularized. Use language to invent fabulous treasures, describe fortifications, and plan daring heists. Led by game designer and documentary film editor Mike Jorgensen.

All public programs are free and made possible by a major gift from an anonymous donor.
