  ComputerXplorers Summer Camps 

  For 2013 ComputerXplorers will be running a number of summer camps across the Lothians from Edinburgh to North Berwick and in everything from Lego Animation and Cartoon Creation to Minecraft and Rocketeering. We will also be holding our first ever Video Game Jam in Edinburgh and holding a Techno-tainment Camp for juniors!

  Some of the workshops on offer:

  LEGO ANIMATION

  Stop-motion is one of the simplest and most fun animation techniques.  Combine this with LEGO and you have a winning combination for young film-makers.  A fantastic way to bring your favourite LEGO creations to life.

   

  We will teach you the techniques you need to become a magical movie producer and produce your very own animation which can be viewed by family and friends.  Watch out Wallace and Gromit here comes ComputerXplorers!

   

  TALKING HEADS – FACIAL ANIMATION

  Imagine being able to animate James Bond or Simon Cowell, make a monkey…even a potato talk or transform a photograph of yourself into a talking puppet! Well now you can with ComputerXplorers.  We will teach you the techniques you need to make any image come alive and to produce your very own animation which can then be viewed by family and friends.

  

  For East Lothian Camps booking is via the east Lothian Council website or via the Summer Activity Brochure

  For this and much, much more please see our website for further details…http://www.sescotland.computerxplorers.co.uk

  Twig is offering Scottish students the chance to tackle some ‘big questions’ that scientists still struggle to answer.

  This is a great opportunity for students to demonstrate a secure knowledge and understanding of the big ideas and concepts of the sciences.

  Our ‘big questions’ are:

  • How will humans evolve?
  • Are we alone in the Universe?
  • Is plastic our worst invention?

  More details here: http://www.twigonglow.com/summerchallenge/
