Stop Motion Animation

Create your very own stop motion film, using your own ideas, props (toys) and backgrounds. Using cameras, specialist software and digital editing techniques you will make movie that you can keep. You can show your creation off to your friends and family too, because we showcase films on our YouTube channel.

It’s not only great fun, you will develop computing confidence, skills and technical vocab.

Web Design

Tell the world about your favourite things, a game a team a band…use software specially designed for education, to create a multipage website (a fanzine online) about one of your favourite things.

Have a blast developing skills in research, creativity and design! You will name it, research it, write stories for it, add images and videos! Get into basic HTML code too, and put yourown own twist on the fanzine’s final page.

And of course, it’s on the web so you can show your creation to the world (and the people around you).

Micro:bit and Robotics

The BBC MicroBit isn’t just another boring small computer! Program it to create games (and cheats), secret messages and devices to solve real world problems (now, did I leave that light on?). Use JavaScript blocks – or even JavaScript, if you want to challenge yourself) to develop programming and engineering skills through the creation of numerous programs and wearable, playable technology. You will even program your own ‘Planet Rover’ to sample and radio back various data using the Micro:Bit’s range of sensors!

IDEAL IF YOU ARE STARTING KS3 NEXT YEAR – GET AHEAD WITH ONE OF OUR WORKSHOPS!

Use our Micro:bits, or bring your own.
