Join us this summer for a fun-packed camp! Bursting at the seams with creative digital technologies, this summer camp is not one to miss. Monday – Stop Motion Animation Bring your imagination and your creativity as we dive into the wonderful world of stop-motion animation. Children will used specialised software to create their own stop-motion animations that they can share with friends and family. From planning and designing to creating, making and onion-skinning they will take complete control over their animations. Children are welcome and encouraged (entirely optional) to bring along one or two little toys they would like to include in their animations. We advise against expensive and large toys. Tuesday – Micro:bit The incredibly small, but incredibly mighty Micro:bit is a credit card sized computer that allows children to understand coding in a tactile, fun and engaging way. The possibilities with micro:bit are huge, from coding a digital game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to becoming a meter to test light levels. It can even become a fruit jukebox! Yes, you read that right, we will use coding and real fruit to make music! Wednesday – LEGO® Robotics LEGO® Robotics is an amazing learning tool, a staple in many toyboxes, it offers a familiar, fun and engaging environment for young learners to understand and grasp basic coding concepts. Children will take on the role of ‘engineer’, working both on and off-screen to create and build models they will bring to life using specialised software to write programmes using coding blocks. Thursday – App Design This workshop gives children a real flavour for working in tech industries. They will understand the steps needed to put a mobile app together. They will create their own series of apps, creating galleries, information pages, and links to their favourite YouTube videos. This is a great workshop for tech enthusiasts. Friday – Minecraft in Space Take a trip to outer space with this engaging workshop that allows children to explore space in a familiar and much-loved environment. They will explore the International Space Station, take on a build challenge and build their own Mars Rover and even plan a trip to Mars and understand how to create a sustainable colony on Mars. This is a great workshop for space, tech and Minecraft enthusiasts!
