Capital E Digital Studios programme impressive workshops

Capital E Digital Studio’s don’t disappoint these April school holidays with two programmes, for juniors and seniors, sure to invigorate the creative spark in children. In the Capital E MediaLab, children will create their own computer game with Wellington software developers Gamefroot. In the OnTV Studio, children will be at the heart of the Zombie apocalypse in Zombiewatch, a workshop to create a live-recorded news broadcast. From Tuesday 7 – Thursday 16 April, children will explore some of the best of what Capital E Digital has to offer.

Media Lab: Working with Gamefroot’s intuitive web interface, and with help from the actual developers, children ages 8 years and up can build a new world and fill it with characters and interactive objects in a three day workshop. Children will tell a story through their game, make a challenging puzzle, or beat the bad guys! Once they’ve built their masterpiece, they can publish it to the web and share it with the world and test it on a phone or tablet.

Juniors (8 – 10 years): Tuesday 7 – Thursday 9 April, 10.30am – 3pm (3-day workshop)
Seniors (11+ years): Tuesday 14 – Thursday 16 April, 10.30am – 3pm (3 day workshop)
$135 per person at Capital E Central MediaLab

OnTV: In a one day workshop, children will check out the OnTV studio in Zombiewatch. They’ll be part of the crew creating live-recorded television about the apocalypse, perhaps as a reporter, a behind the scenes operator, or even a drooling, brain-hungry member of the undead.

Juniors (8 – 10 years): Tuesday 14 or Thursday 16 April, 10am – 3pm
Seniors (11+ years): Tuesday 7 or Thursday 9 April, 10am – 3pm
$45 per person, Capital E Central, OnTV Studio

Creative Technology Manager Melissa Conway says, “We’re thrilled to be bringing two unique school holiday programmes to the Wellington scene. There’s something for every child in developing their own creation in either our OnTV Studio or MediaLab. We can’t wait to see what’s created.”
