Join us for an in-person open house at the AVRO XR Studio.

This event invites tech innovators, creators, students, and community members to step inside Manitoba’s first ground-level extended reality production stage. Attendees will get guided tours of the XR studio, live demonstrations of virtual production tools, and insights into how immersive technologies like real-time engines, motion capture, and interactive lighting are transforming film, training, and content creation.

The experience is designed to be interactive, educational, and accessible for all experience levels. Guests can engage with AVRO XR crew, get hands on with production equipment, ask questions about workflows and career paths in XR, and explore collaborative opportunities in Manitoba’s expanding tech and filmmaking ecosystems.

Please note: Attendees are welcome to come and go at their own leisure within the provided time slot.

 

Imagine your child building their own video games instead of just playing them. Come and see how Code Ninjas turns screen time into skill time — and coding + AI is just the beginning.

This a family-friendly event for ages 5-14. Enter into the DOJO with an Open House type atmosphere.

We will have hands-on exercises and modules set up for the kids to try out. They will be able to create their first game to take home and show their friends. Come and see how Code Ninjas is developing the next generation of problem solvers, creators, and leaders. Preview coding and AI programs and Summer camps this year.

Attendees can also preview Canada’s first comprehensive hands-on AI Curriculum specifically designed for kids ages 10-16.

🌟 Join Us for an Exciting Exploration of Cutting-Edge Technology! 🌟

Manitoba Women In Tech (#MBWiTech) is calling all women in technology! Get ready to dive into the fascinating world of Real-Time 3D Visualization and discover how this innovative technology is reshaping industries.

Jonathan Lê, Senior Manager of New Media Manitoba’s StudioLab xR and Chelsea Treboniak, Co-Owner of Critical Ops will co-host an interactive and engaging session, where they’ll unpack what Real-Time 3D Visualization means in layman’s terms and how it’s being used across sectors:

  • Architecture & Construction: Designing smarter, more efficient spaces.
  • Gaming & Entertainment: Enhancing virtual environments and augmented reality.
  • Transportation & Automotive: Powering self-driving cars and traffic analysis.
  • Environmental Science: Mapping forests and monitoring changes in ecosystems.

Chelsea will discuss how the real-life project of LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging), a laser-based remote sensing technology, is changing the construction industry. By sending a laser to a surface and measuring the time it takes to bounce back, LiDAR creates incredibly accurate 3D maps and models in real time.

👩‍💻 Whether you’re a seasoned tech professional or a curious newcomer, this meetup will be a supportive space to learn, connect, and get inspired by real-world applications of Real-Time 3D Visualization.

Event Highlights:

  • A live demo of Real-Time 3D visualization.
  • Insightful discussions about industry trends and career opportunities.
  • Networking with like-minded women and their allies in tech over breakfast snacks & refreshments.

Let’s come together to celebrate innovation, learn something new, and grow as a community. We can’t wait to see you there!
