The son of one of our staff members spent the day in the 3D Lab to print Star Wars models that he designed from scratch using Tinkercad. He is also into stop-motion photography with LEGO figures, making movies with an application on his Chromebook called Clap Motion. It is stop-motion software that allows you to create your own animation by simply clapping your hands. ClapMotion is an ideal tool for the classroom and home, developing project based thinking, artistic, creative and teamwork skills.
Check-out these great videos that our young visitor made with LEGOs and Clap Motion:
On the same subject, at the Wayne County Mini Maker Faire earlier this year, Susan Corl of Story Cultivator Studios created a hands on activity with stop motion photography. Her booth was immensely popular with lots of kids making their first-ever movies right there!
