Video Production for YouTube: Gaming
YouTube is the top destination for online videos, and now you can learn how to create your own Let’s Play! In this camp, students will capture a PC gaming session and add a voice-over to bring their gameplay to life. In the first half of camp, they’ll learn tricks filmmakers use for better shots, practice capturing gameplay, and add sound effects. In the second half, students will edit short videos, adding transitions and a soundtrack. Bring a USB drive (at least 8 GB) on the last day to save your project.
*Exact age/grade availability depends on each district's listing.
Hands-on project-based learning. Work in small groups. Take home your creations.
What students will do
This camp turns Minecraft into a logic playground: students practice structured thinking while building things they actually want to show off.
