Create and then animate your own video game with cardboard, wire, and stop motion animation!
Camera, lights, action! Join educators from Beam Camp/Beam Center and the Lewis Latimer House as we celebrate Women's History Month and explore the work of Muriel Tramis, one of the first Black female video game designers. You'll have the chance to create and then animate your own characters and environments using cardboard, wire, and stop motion animation.
About Beam Camp:
At Beam Camp, youth aged 9-17 and staff learn to make their ideas a reality. Through fine and manual arts, technology, and collaboration, Beam Campers cultivate hands-on skills while exploring innovative thinking, design, and the creative process. Beam Camp has a fully equipped woodshop, metal shop, fabrication lab, and an arts and craft barn ready for ceramics, sewing, painting and more. Learn more at beamcenter.org!
