Work Experience @ HCLC

There are 14 students from WSH and they are working on a Mulitmedia Task to develop audio, video and graphical outcomes to the following task.

Building Schools for the Future (BSF) is the multi-billion pound scheme to provide state-of-the-art educational facilities to all secondary school children.

Your objective as a new mutlimedia company is to tender for the contract to produce an advertising campaign using video, audio and posters to encourage children and the community to get involved and share their ideas with the Local Authority.
Some sample questions -
What should a classroom look like?
How does the building affect how you learn?
What could the community do with the building out of hours?
What would they like the school to look like?

The students are divided into fourcompanies and each company needs to create their own company identity and stationary, 2 Radio pieces, one video piece a poster and a blog and then present their outcomes to the representatives from their school and the other students in the group.

 A winning company will be selected.

During the week (4th - 8th June 2007) a group of 11 yr 10 students from Fortismere and 2 students from Blanche Neville attended the CLC to participate in a Multimedia Enterprise Week. The task was linked to the DiDA speicaifation for Multimedia and involved the companies in creating their own identity and designing and making two version of a game that that be used by Year 6 students moving to Fortismere or Blanche Neville in September.

We had four companies and each company was given the same specification : to produce a 3 level game according to set rules. Each company needed to create their own company identity using Publisher and Photoshop. They then were encouraged to use OpenMind and Mediator to produce their game and included both photographic and video elements. Each company also had to maintain and complete a blog recording the process that they went through to create their games. They will present their products on Friday at noon to staff from their school.
