Overview
The Lights! Camera! Animation! Challenge will walk Trainees through the animation process. As part of the Presentation Series, in this Challenge Trainees will explore the history of animation. After that, they will learn about two amazing STEM Heroes of Animation, Walt Disney and Phil Vischer. Additionally, they will take a look at some of the science and technology behind animation.
Once the Trainee has completed the Research we move into the development process. This is where they will create their own stop motion animation. The resources we use explore the techniques that Pixar employs. Next, Trainees will develop their own plot, characters, and storyboard.
Finally, as with all our Challenges, each Trainee must put together a five-minute presentation about their Animation. They will be able to use their Trainee Portfolio to work through the Challenge and record their work.
All our Challenges are created in such a way that Trainees of any age can use them. Our test Trainee group ranges in age from 7 years old to 14 years old. However, we have had 5-year-olds successfully complete Challenges with assistance and even a few parents joined their Trainees to learn to code! We recommend simplifying the task for younger Trainees and helping them with the Challenge Kits. For older students, we recommend that they go more in-depth and that their finished solution is of a higher standard and more detailed. We have also taken into consideration different learning styles. So the Portfolio and Lessons can be adapted to each Trainee’s needs. Ultimately, our program is about working through the process. And you are never too young or too old to learn that skill.
For this Challenge, Trainees over 6 years old should be able to complete it with minimal assistance. Younger Trainees will require assistance.
