Learn by Building

Workshops

Hands-on workshops in AI, XR, creative coding, and interactive technology — delivered by a practitioner, not a presenter.

Build Something Real

These aren't death-by-PowerPoint sessions. Every workshop is hands-on — participants leave having built something, not just watched someone else do it.

Delivered by Steve Hadley, with a decade of experience shipping VR experiences, AI-powered installations, games, and production apps. The workshops draw on real project experience, not textbook theory.

How It Works

01

Brief

Tell me about your team, their skill level, and what you want them to walk away with.

02

Customise

I tailor the workshop content, pace, and exercises to your group's needs and goals.

03

Deliver

On-site or remote. Interactive, hands-on sessions with real tools and real projects — not slides.

04

Follow Up

Participants receive resources, code, and a follow-up Q&A session to keep the momentum going.

Why DREAMWARE?

Practitioner-Led

Every workshop is delivered by someone who actively ships creative technology projects — not a career trainer reading from a manual.

Hands-On, Not Theoretical

Participants build real things during the session. I believe you learn by doing, and every workshop is structured around that principle.

Fully Customised

No off-the-shelf courseware. Every workshop is tailored to your team's skill level, industry, and objectives.

Small Groups, Big Impact

I keep groups small enough that everyone gets hands-on time and direct access.
