Comments Off on Working Hard During Camp’s Last Week

This is the final week of Renbrook Summer Adventure, and all computer campers are working very hard to complete their projects.  In the mornings, challenge groups are putting the finishing touches on stop motion animation projects in iMovie by adding backgrounds (to replace green screens), musical selections, sound effects, and more.  Other challenge campers are finishing recording and editing their radio shows, and some eager students are continuing to create basic programs using BASIC on the TRS-80 CoCo2 and on the Model 102 laptop.

Meanwhile, the senior campers are making great headway with marketing their products.  Their radio shows are finished and will be posted soon, and their video commercials are nearly complete.  This week, senior campers are working to create their print ads (using Adobe InDesign) and their websites (using WordPress).  More coming soon!

Finally, as a relaxation at the end of the day, Free Choice campers are playing selected computer games.  Originally, I started out by offering computer versions of popular board games, but I extended it to other thinking, strategy-based games.  The favorites have been physics-based games, like Demolition City.  (You can access all the links on the right side of this page.)
