Description
Black Girls CODE and Mojo MediaWorks partners during the upcoming South by Southwest Interactive Festival (SXSWi), for the first ever mobile storytelling and web design/coding workshop for girls of color. In this workshop students will get to interview attendees at SXSW, one of the nation's largest annual technology gatherings. The class is called, "Screen>Play: A Weekend iPod Film School and Web Design Workshop" and it takes place on Saturday March 9th at Ballet Austin.
Girls who participate in the "Screen>Play" workshop will get a chance to interview SXSW festival participants alongside traditional journalists. They will scour the festival grounds with iPods to create a film that answers the question, "Why should Black Girls CODE?" Then they will edit their films on iPads and upload it to a website they will design.
The "Screen>Play" workshop fuses the top two trends in educational technology: mobile learning and coding. It's an event not to be missed!
This workshop is for girls ages 13-17 and will start promptly at 10:00AM. Participants do not need to bring their own computers. Access will be provided to a computer workstation during the workshop. Both lunch, snack, and awards will be provided.
Space is limited to sign up soon to secure your spot! Scholarships are available. Once you register for this event please complete the online student profile forms and emergency contact forms which can be found at this link on our website: http://www.blackgirlscode.com/parents.html
