Ready. Set. Action.
Channel your child’s creative imagination using digital media tools. Your child will begin by bringing together all their creative ideas onto an animation storyboard that has a start, middle and an end. Using this storyboard, creating their screenplay script will be a breeze. Next, your child will learn how to record, edit and apply special effects for both video and audio - skills that enable your child to transform their storyboard into a stop motion animation masterpiece – ready to share with family and friends.

About this camp

Stop Motion Animation combines transferable skills such as collaborative planning, storyboarding and scripting with a fun and interesting environment to make an experience your child will be raving about the whole summer.
After an introduction to stop motion animation, set building, and the software they’ll use, they’ll be ready for their first animation. Throughout the course they’ll focus on the more intricate side of filming and production. Finally, they’ll produce a final project featuring overlays, chroma keying, audio and more! Hope they’re ready to stretch those creative muscles.
Tutors will be guiding them every step of the way to help make sure their ideas become reality.
Don’t miss the final showcase on Friday at 4PM, when FunTech will have the pleasure of hosting the world premiere of all the films that the class has made! Parents and guardians have an exclusive invitation to this prestigious event.

<p>Minecraft is a lot more than chopping down trees and fending of monsters. There is a element of Minecraft that lets players open doors with a lever, explode a block when someone trips over a wire and much more. It’s called Redstone, a simple analogy for electricity and electrical circuits. Redstone can be used to form wires that signals can be sent down, devices can then be used to alter the signal as it travels down a circuit.</p>

<p>The week starts off with an introduction to Redstone itself. Students will learn about Redstone Dust, how adjacent pieces can connect together to form a wire, and how something can generate a ‘current’ along that wire. These generators include buttons, levers, light sensors and more. They’ll run through exercises of generating current along a wire using different generators and making the current do different things, for example, closing doors and shooting eggs! </p>

<p>We then take what has been learnt and look at the realistic side of things by looking at circuit diagrams and how they can be used to create ‘circuits’ in a Minecraft world. Logic gates will also be introduced, showing ways of combining and reversing multiple currents to create a logical circuit, for example, opening a door only when two buttons are pushed. These logic gates are entirely analogous to their counterparts in modern electrical circuits, so everything taught is applicable to creating electrical circuits as well! </p>

<p>Finally, students will examine ways of using these logic gates to create different ‘types’ of circuits: ones for creating a constant pulse of current, ones for remembering the state of a current and more. Students will put these circuits to practical use by creating large projects, such as assault courses and half-adders!</p>",
	"legacy_body" => "<h3>DAY 1</h3>
<p>Students will be introduced to the world of Minecraft and Redstone! To start off, they will run through the basic controls of Minecraft for anyone new to it, and then they move on to Redstone. This involves looking at what Redstone is, how it connects together, Redstone currents, and things which generate this current!</p>

<h3>DAY 2</h3>
<p>This day is focused on logic and logic gates! Being a fundamental part of machinery, logic gates are really important. Using Redstone, the students will create the two universal gates, NAND and NOR, as well as some other gates, like AND, OR, and XOR.</p>

<h3>DAY 3</h3>
<p>This day is focused on introducing two components of a Redstone circuit: Repeaters and Comparators. The students will look at what these two things can do, as well as look at how to use them in complex circuits. To finish off, students will create some basic memory circuits, like an RS Latch and a T Flip-Flop.</p>

<h3>DAY 4</h3>
<p>On this day students will use everything they’ve learnt over the past three days to create more complex circuits! They will create clock and pulse circuits, as well as look at the different ways of how to get a Redstone current safely from one location to another.</p>

<h3>DAY 5</h3>
<p>On this final day, students will look at some interesting extras to Minecraft, such as commands and the Command Block! To finish off, students will put everything they’ve learnt to the test in creating an obstacle course maze!</p>",

<p><strong>APPLICATIONS</strong>: ELEVATORS | CALCUATORS | STICKY PISTONS | T FLIP-FLOPS | DIODES | PULSE CIRCUITS | CIRCUIT BREAKERS</p>

<hr />
<p><strong>SIMPLE EXPLANATION</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>We use Minecraft to teach <strong>ELECTRONICS</strong>. Children learn about all the different types of GATES e.g. <strong>AND</strong>, <strong>OR</strong>, <strong>NOT</strong> and so on.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Theese gates are used to build a computer's <strong>CPU</strong>.&nbsp;</li>
<li>They go on to learn how to <strong>COMBINE</strong> <strong>THESE</strong> <strong>GATES</strong> to create a variety of <strong>CIRCUITS</strong>.</li>
<li>E.G.&nbsp;<strong>ELEVATORS</strong>, <strong>CALCUATORS</strong>, <strong>STICKY</strong> <strong>PISTONS</strong>, <strong>SIMPLE</strong> <strong>CIRCUITS</strong>, <strong>T FLIP-FLOPS</strong>, <strong>RS &amp; D LATCHES</strong>, <strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>CIRCUITS</strong>, <strong>DIODES </strong>and so on...</li>
<li>Once they are able to build these circuits we then take it a <strong>STAGE FURTHER</strong> by looking at different types of transmission</li>
<li>E.G.<strong>CROSS</strong> <strong>WIRES</strong>, <strong>VERTICLE</strong> <strong>TRANSMISSION</strong>, <strong>REPEATERS</strong>, <strong>PULSE</strong> <strong>CIRCUITS</strong>, <strong>CIRCUIT</strong> <strong>BREAKERS</strong>, <strong>PULSE</strong> <strong>MULTIPLIERS</strong>/<strong>DIVIDERS</strong></li>
<li>And then finally we take it to a hole new level where we look at <strong>CLOCK</strong> <strong>CIRCUITS</strong>, <strong>COMPARATOR</strong> <strong>CLOCKS</strong> (so circuits can take decisions based on which of the two signals has a higer priority) <strong>COMMAND</strong> <strong>BLOCKS</strong>, <strong>BASIC SERVER COMMANDS</strong>,</li>
<li>The whole week culminates in the children creating their own <strong>OBSTACLE COURSE</strong>, that you get to experience on the final day.</li>

They’ll also learn how to store and transmit data, build automated systems and create interactive in-game features like trap doors, pistons and much, much, more.</p><p>By the end of the full course, they’ll bring everything together to design and build a Redstone-powered adventure map, packed with puzzles, surprises, and interactive challenges for friends and family to enjoy.</p><p><br></p>",

<p><span lang="EN-GB">During the Minecraft Redstone course, your child will learn how to use truth tables. These are mathematical table used for logic, helping them learn about the different logic gates and their possible outputs.&nbsp;Once these gates have been mastered, they’ll learn how to combine logic gates to create real-world applications, giving them a deeper understanding of how everything reduces back down to Binary. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">As this electronics summer camp progresses the circuits will become more complex. Toward the end of the course your child’s imagination will go into overdrive as they fully comprehend the limitless possibilities of being an electronic inventor. These skills will be used to design and implement an adventure course that family and friends must navigate through – come early as these are often quite challenging!</span></p>
