Homeschool SEED Tech: Mine-imation (Ages 11-13)

Older students learn the fundamentals of digital storytelling in "Mine-imation," a technology workshop for ages eleven to thirteen at the Museum of Science & Industry. Utilizing the familiar blocks, items, and characters of the popular video game Minecraft, the class teaches basic animation techniques and sequence building. Participants manipulate digital assets to craft their own animated short films, gaining practical experience in software tools and visual pacing. After completing the two-hour session, students can download their projects to share and continue refining their video masterpieces at home, bridging the gap between recreational gaming and applied digital arts.
