Watch ‘Life Or Death’ by the Solas After Schools Programme

The course was delivered over a five-week period, for one hour per week. The programme provided participants aged 10-to-12 years old with the opportunity to develop a range of digital literacy skills and get an introduction to hardware such as MaKey MaKey.

What students covered in the five-weeks:

• Stop motion animation
• Introduction to electronics
• Use small toys and figurines to make short animations
• Creating your own narratives, building and decorating sets

Work created by the young people over the course of the 5 weeks included a short film produced by the students, entitled ‘Life or Death’’. Watch this video here.
