Kids Studio Summer Session Still Open!
Posted May 5th, 2009 by lisa in Front Page, NewsAccess Tucson has a summer program that offers kids a chance to explore the world of television production. From animating, scripting and shooting, to performing as talent on the set, Summer Session participants learn to create their own television programs.
Media is certainly a part of our lives and our children’s. The Access Tucson Summer Session gives kids a new perspective and understanding of television and media. Through creating their own productions, children are no longer simple consumers of television, but programmers. This experience enables them to better understand all the media messages they see daily and have a fun time learning!
Summer Session Members:
• Work in a team oriented environment.
• Utilize writing and communication skills.
• Create with sound and images.
• Learn to produce their own messages for television.
In addition to the new skills learned through the Summer Session program, all of the students receive certification for utilizing the Access Tucson Facilities year round!
All participants will receive a copy of Summer Session 2009.
