3D Video World

Pink Party in Paris

Learn the fundamentals involved in creating a 3D video game world! Participants will develop their own game design and learn to place animals, trees, characters and other items in their own virtual world. They will also learn the basic subsystems and scripting entailed in a 3D game system. Two students will work in a team, and each participant will receive a copy of the 3D software and his or her game at the end of class. This class is taught by Computer Explorers Staff. (KB)

Join Glitzy Girlz on a trip to Paris! We will be doing hair updos with feathers, make-up application and nails – all with the fab color PINK. Our craft is an adorable glam bag with personalization, paints, jewels and embellishments and a hot pink fur border. Each girl makes a beautiful beaded bracelet with faceted diamond crystals, pink and black beads and an antique charm. We will eat a sweet pastry treat like in a Paris bakery and top the evening off with a couture fashion show. Parents may arrive 10 minutes before the end of class to take photos. (KB)

Making Your Own Indiana Jones Movie All those wanting to be the next Steven Spielberg can use their imagination and creativity to create an Indiana Jones movie! Children will become part of a team of writers, photographers, directors and producers to create their own story and script, build various Indiana Jones Lego scenes and film their own movie. They will use graphic editing techniques and stop motion animation, add background noise and music, and show their movie at a private screening on the last day of class. All students will get a copy of their movie on a CD-ROM after class is complete. Students may bring their own peanut-free snack if desired. This class is taught by Computer Explorers staff. (KB) Age
