Hogwarts Film School & Coding Camp
Create your own stop-motion animation using characters from the Harry Potter and Fantastical Beasts series. Students will build and design magical-themed scenes and props. Then, they will handle all the technical details of filming scenes, including stop-motion, digital editing, special effects, and transitions to the movie. Students will create digital animations and participate in our Harry Potter-themed STEAM activities. Students should have basic reading skills and be comfortable using a computer. Bring a USB drive on the last day. Harry Potter is a Warner Bros. trademark. This camp is not affiliated with them.
*Exact age/grade availability depends on each district's listing. Minecraft is a Mojang Studios trademark and not affiliated with this camp.
Learn command syntax, triggers, and Redstone circuits to build interactive worlds and mini-games.
