From the cinema classic ‘King Kong’ through to modern day favourites ‘Wallace and Grommit’, Stopmotion animation has been a popular film style. Let your class get creative and have them shoot a short animated clip explaining a science concept, retelling a historical event or making a community announcement. Using nothing but a PC, webcam and FREE software, this workshop will teach you how to create your own movies. 

Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art. As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas. Students also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. This introductory course covers the basics skills necessary to run Scratch activities within your classroom. Scratch is a free download, available at www.scratch.mit.edu
