Stop-Motion Animation

Design your own stage, create your story and bring it to life with technical filming and editing skills! Using clay, paper, and other props we will help you to create stop-motion animations. The animations can be filmed on the tablets provided or your own phones, using a free app. These animations will be uploaded to a dedicated section of the TECgirls YouTube Channel and shared with Screen Cornwall and other museums to help tell climate change stories. This is a great activity for playing with making as well as technical filming and editing.

Message in a Bottle

Using simple electronics you will transform old plastic bottles into artwork that are ‘Calls for Action’. Your electronic sculpture will be interactive through the use of conductive tape, stick-on led lights, and small batteries. Make sure to bring along some clean, clear plastic bottles to transform into your sculptures or share with other makers!

This project is funded by the UK Government through the UK Community Renewal Fund. Cornwall Council has been chosen by Government as a Lead Authority for the fund and is responsible for monitoring the progress of projects funded through the UK Community Renewal Fund in Cornwall.
