St. Luke’s designLab Camp brings your 5th-8th grade* children this hands-on exploration of the evolution of animation. Participants will create paper flip books, zoetropes, stop-motion animations, holograms, and virtual reality spaces. No prior experience is necessary though an interest in drawing is helpful.
