Creative Technology Workshops
The workshop cycles for Technology this year will focus on the creative process of developing websites, films and stop-motion animation. Students will go through a process of development that includes: planning, designing, programming/filming, testing/post-production and releasing a product. For each cycle topic, the students will learn about what is happening "behind the scenes" that results in a website, film or animation. Students will be challenged to apply logic and creativity to their projects while adhering to a timeline for completion.

While having excellent content is still the hallmark of a great website, there is a lot of attention on style these days. The web design trends identified in the articles below are all about websites becoming more beautiful and usable. The result of this workshop will be the launch of your very own unique website.
