Jedi Movie Making & Coding Camp

From a galaxy far, far away, your Star Wars adventure begins! In this camp, students will design using starships, droids and other star war characters to build intergalactic scenes, then bring them to life by creating their own stop-motion animated short film. Alongside moviemaking, they’ll dive into Star Wars–themed coding activities, learning how to create games and interactive projects inspired by the saga. With hands-on building, animation, and coding, this camp is perfect for fans who dream of becoming Jedi creators. Basic reading skills required; Bring a USB drive on the last day.
