2016 Easter School Holiday Workshops at ACMI



Over the March and April school holiday break, why not book your kids onto a creative workshop at the ACMI in Federation Square.

This season's program will include:

Young Coders

Most of what we use today involves coding; computer software, apps and websites. Why not expose your kids to coding now, to be ahead of the game? ACMI's three-day workshop will teach your kids the basics of programming using software to create a game.



Age recommendation: 9 to 14 years
Cost: Full $360, concession $350, ACMI member $340 (lunch included)
When: Tues 5 - Thurs 7 April, 10am to 4pm.

Make a Movie

Your budding filmmakers can try their hands at making a movie. Working in small teams, participants will learn the basics of writing, directing, acting and editing a short film over three-days. On the last day, your kids get to attend a red carpet premiere and invite two special guests.

Age recommendation: 9 to 12 years
Cost: Full $270, concession $250, ACMI member $230

Claymation workshops

The fun doesn't stop there. The whole family can have a go at claymation over the weekend of 2 and 3 April.

Cost: Full $50, concession $45, ACMI member $44

Alternatively, there is the option for your children to join a kids only claymation workshop for the day. Classes involve sculpting a character from clay, and making it come to life using sets, studio lighting, sound effects and sped-up frames.

Cost: Full $120, concession $110, ACMI member $100.
When: Fri 1 to Mon 4 April, 10am to 4pm

Minecrafting

Your high school kids can have a go at making a Minecraft movie. Working in teams, they will direct a scene in a designed world with characters, using a specially designed version of the game.

Age recommendation: 12 to 12 years
Cost: Full $120, concession $110, ACMI member $100

For younger Minecraft fans, there is an opportunity to join a family friendly session on the weekend of 9 and 10 April from 1 to 4pm. This is an opportunity for your kids to explore Minecraft with you, so you can all gain insight into how the game is used in a learning environment.

FREE Kids Flip It

A drop in session on between 28 March and 10 April invites kids to learn how animated characters are morphed by creating a flip book.
