The senior campers have done a great job working to build the Renbrook campus within Minecraft. While we won’t complete the whole campus this session, I have enjoyed watching the campers work to create the map with their own creative twists and interpretations. Seeing them figure out how to recreate visual details within the cubic constraints of Minecraft has been interesting, and I’m so pleased with what they’ve developed. (I will figure out how to post the playable file for the campers to use at home at the end of session 2.) The session two campers will continue the work of these session one senior campers.
Challenge campers have focused on high-speed, slow motion video. They have filmed many scenes of video at 240, 480, or 1,000 frames of video per second. (Normal video is 30 frames per second – or FPS – so when played back, one second of video shot at 240 FPS becomes eight seconds long, one second of 480 FPS video becomes 16 seconds, and one second of 1,000 video becomes 33 seconds long.) Rather than uploading individual videos, I am stitching the videos into a single video that you will be able to access here.

Free Choice campers this week have worked to make their own cartoons using stop motion animation software. By drawing images on dry erase boards and photographing them before making small changes, the campers have created some impressive cartoons.
