Camp Rock Star!: Everyone loves music, but before the digital revolution it used to take years of practice on an instrument to create even simple songs. Now the power of technology empowers everyone, regardless of experience, with the opportunity to create their own songs, soundtracks, podcasts, or music videos. Using tools like Garage Band and other mass media software, explore the basics of song composition, editing tracks, and create a music video.
Lightz! Camera! Action!: So you want to make a movie! In this fun, exciting camp, learn the dynamics of storytelling, shooting, editing, graphics, sound and more. From pre-production to your own premiere, learn by doing with an expert and ultimately make your very first short movie. The last day of camp will be the World Premiere of your "I Made It Myself" production! Invite a select group of family and friends to their very own premiere on the big screen. All equipment supplied.
Creative Design and Robotics: The worlds of the future-robots and robotics are one of America's fastest growing industries. Learn the basics of robot design in this special camp - separate fact from the fantasy - and design and build your first robot. At the end of the class the Robots will compete against each other in a series of challenges! All equipment supplied.
Make Your First 3-D Video Game!: By popular demand, we are now offering a 3-D game design class. This experience allows you to develop a game concept that goes well beyond the limitations of the traditional classes. Designed for young adults who have the desire to focus in Game Design in high school or college.
Make Your First 2-D Video Game!: If you love playing video games, this is the camp for you! Make your first video game in this one-of-a-kind class that shows you the crucial keys to designing your first 2-D game. Conceptualization, play experience, challenge levels, graphics and elements, music and sound, software, and simple coding are just some of the concepts that we'll explore as you learn how to really get into the game because you made it yourself! No prior experience necessary just a desire to have fun.
Ultimate Claymation and Stop Action!: Specifically designed for children who like to make something out of nothing! From the world's first film about the man on the moon, to King Kong, to today's classics, sometimes the action doesn't require an actor! Whether you want to recreate your favorite scene from Shrek or invent an original short film, this camp will allow you to produce a movie out of nothing but an idea and a piece of clay. Clay, most supplies, and equipment provided.
Video Game Animation: Take your game design to the next level by creating and animating your own character sprites. Start with a name; develop the character's personality, signature moves, special powers, and a story line. Finish with a fully animated character to be used in future games. Students do not need any prior experience in game design, animation, or sketching.
