SUMMARY:Blender 3D Summer Camp for Indigenous Youth
DESCRIPTION:New Media Manitoba presents this free camp for indigenous youth aged 14-18\, led by local interdisciplinary artist Casey Koyczan.\n\n\n\nIt’s important to preserve who we are\, where we come from\, and make our voices heard.\n\n\n\nArt is always evolving\, as are the tools and techniques that we have at our disposal are ever-changing. However\, the essential need we all have as human beings to tell our stories and express ourselves remains constant. \n\n\n\nThis course will encourage students of any skill level to gain experience with digital art tools. They will employ techniques such as 3D Modeling and Animation using Blender to craft a piece of their own to express who they are. By the end of this camp students will gain beginner to intermediate skills in Storytelling\, 3D Modeling / Animation / Rendering\, Blender\, and Project Management \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes \n\n\n\n\nGetting familiar with Blender as a digital art tool\n\n\n\n3D Art Pipeline using Blender\n\n\n\nCreating scenes and rendering digital art pieces in Blender\n\n\n\n\nTopics Covered: \n\n\n\n\nIntroduction to Interface and Tools\n\n\n\nImporting\, Materials\, Lighting and Camera\n\n\n\nAnimation\, Physics\, Rendering and Exporting\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructor Bio \n\n\n\nCasey Koyczan is a Dene interdisciplinary artist from Yellowknife\, NT\, that uses various mediums to communicate how culture and technology can grow together in order for us to develop a better understanding of who we are\, where we come from\, and what we will be. He creates with whatever tools necessary to bring an idea to fruition\, and specializes in sculpture\, installation\, 3D/VR/AR/360\, video\, and audio works such as music\, soundscapes and film scores. \n\n\n\nHe is an international artist that has participated in many residencies\, exhibits\, festivals and collaborations in parts of the world such as Finland\, Colombia\, Chile\, Mexico\, The Netherlands\, The USA\, and the UK.

SUMMARY:Video Game Camp
DESCRIPTION:If you want to do more than just play games and learn how to actually make them\, New Media Manitoba’s got the perfect Summer Camp for you! \nThis Camp is aimed at youth\, ages 15-17 who are dreaming about a career in the video game industry. In two weeks\, students will discover what it takes to make their own 2D platformer game. Students have the opportunity to learn the basics of programming\, develop animations\, and unravel some of the mysteries behind game design from an established indie developer. \nSelected students will be introduced to video game development concepts using industry-standard software\, such as Unity and the Adobe Creative Suite. Working on our high-powered gaming laptops they will design their game in a fun and collaborative environment. \nCourse Outline \n\nCreating a posable 2D character\nCharacter rigging\nCreating basic character animations.\nImporting assets into Unity\nProgramming the character\nLevel design\, including how to create an endless runner\nProgramming logic\nHooking up player logic with level logic\nAdding a counter\nCreating a game flow\n\nIf you’re interested in discovering the creative and technical processes behind making video games (or know someone who is) sign up today\, space is extremely limited! \n\n \nInstructor Bio Gabriel Lascano\, an international Computer Engineer with a Master’s Degree in Digital Marketing\, got his Unity 3D Certification in 2017 after a few years of intense video game programming in his home country. Shortly after he moved to Canada in 2017\, he worked with a local company (Tactica interactive) developing a 3D video game called Kid Diners for TVOKids. Thanks to the community he was able to contact Daniel Blair\, CEO of the company he is currently working at (Bit Space Development) where he is the Chief Technology Officer working every day with the latest technology available for Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality to build immersive experiences and simulators. Gabriel believes that the best way to give back to the community that first welcomed him is sharing all his knowledge and helping grow its participants though all the events where he can provide guidance\, ideas and always collaborate. “I am a huge fan of collaboration\, and I believe that the greatest projects will always come from a cohesive team that is united by the same idea.” That is why Gabriel wants to bring this Unity Basics and Collaboration course to the community. \n  \n\n**Health Note** \nDue to COVID-19 we will be taking every possible step to ensure a safe and clean environment. This includes socially distancing all participants\, instructors\, and desks. We will be cleaning all surfaces\, bathrooms\, and door handles multiple times throughout the day. All students will be required to sanitize their hands upon entering our space and encouraged to sanitize regularly throughout the day.

SUMMARY:Girls in Gaming Summer Camp - Virtual Edition
DESCRIPTION:New Media Manitoba’s Girls in Gaming program aims to provide young women a chance to explore the exciting world of game development in a safe and encouraging environment. \nIf you want your child to do more than just play video games all summer then give them the opportunity to learn how to create one with this hands-on camp! \nThis 100% online workshop is sure to inspire students and harness their passion for video games to get them designing their very own. All you need to participate is a computer with a stable internet connection. We will be streaming the lessons each day via our Twitch and Youtube channels. The sessions are all recorded for further review or if something comes up and you can’t attend in person. Lessons are followed up with virtual office hours\, where students can interact and ask questions to our instructor. \nGirls in Gaming is designed from the ground up for young women to spark interest and excitement in STEM (Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, Math). Game development is the ideal way to explore these STEM topics as it combines fun with hands-on learning\, problem-solving\, and creative planning. Our classes are 100% female-focused\, from instructors to students. We put positive female role models in front of students who create a safe and collaborative space for students to play\, explore\, and be themselves.  \n“Girls’ interest in STEM peaks in middle school and drops off during high school due to social factors and a lack of access.” \n-Girls Who Code \nStudents will be introduced to important video game development concepts including logic\, design\, and basic coding in this one of a kind camp for young women aged 12 to 15. Imaginations flourish as students use art and code to bring their stories to life in their own interactive narrative game. \nOur video game development lessons provide students with the opportunity to: \n\nLearn Twine 2 and how to blend logic\, writing\, images\, and code into a playable story\nDevelop new skills like prototyping\, time management\, and storyboarding\nLearn image manipulation with browser-based tools\nExplore a passion for games in a constructive way\n\nInstructor Bio \n  \nShera Starr is a 2D/3D generalist artist currently freelancing and working on a commercial indie game.\nShera has been making video games since she was 11 and regularly goes to game jams. She usually concentrates on art I also love sound design and trying new roles. \nHer interests are pretty varied\, she can sometimes be found baking something yummy\, gardening\, or singing karaoke. In addition to her work in games\, she has also worked in film\, IT\, and also creating 3D printed puzzles for an escape room. \n  \n
