It’s gonna be goodbye for the Technosummer…!
The lucky kids from CEIP Mediterránea (a local school) have been the last to participate at the Tecnoestiu (TechnoSummer) workshops Citilab have organized this july.
Over 400 “young digital explorers” have shared this experience with us, full of discoveries which are sure to have changed their way of seeing and living technology.
Screenburst….
The last sessions resulted particularly stimulating as a news team from regional channel TV3 were here recording the activities from the different workshops.
The smallest there were Leith to savour their “star” momento in front of the cameras of the TV reporters while they themselves were making their own programme on TV seeing themselves on the backdrop screen. The telly made by some of the youngest programme-makers ever, seen on the television of a slightly older audience.
The Magic table or Mesosfera, has also undoubtedly proved one of the greatest surprises of this year. To see digital shapes come out of nothing from the fingertips of the kids on a gigantic interactive screen, of almost two metres in diameter can really take your breath away. Encima On top of that, spectacular games of skill or memory, in which up to eight players can participate around the table. No two games are ever the same, as they happen in the moment, at the whim of whoever’s playing and just as fast as they’re played, they disappear.
With Scratch, the experience accumulated a over a year and a half of work with kids of all ages, was there for all to see. The young programmers had a ball building their very own videogame Pong and the bravest even decided to do it themselves, starting from – as the name suggests – Scratch with the very first piece.
Even the youngest of five or six years old were not Leith out, despite not knowing how to read and write yet: how were they not going to have a great time clapping to make a silly cat run across the screen, the programme pet.
So it’s goodbye to the TechnoSummer, but the efforts of these young artists have left us with a refreshing amount of creativity in the shape of small audiovisual pieces which you can view via Inventa TV. Others resorted al to their color pallets to give us an artistic vision of their experiences, featured on the blog from Technosummer, along with a host of photos from the workshops.
Here you will find in the You have your say section (in Catalan), their impressions, experiences and ideas for new things.
A whole lot of thrills, in a digital format.
