Description:
Our LEGO Moviemaking takes your child to the next level with their stop-motion animation skills. Students will go through a series of video lessons that will take students from start to finish, creating their own LEGO Stop-motion Movie.
Students will work to create a short story, draw it out, and build it with LEGO® Bricks, and then they bring it to life on film.
Students can use LEGO Brick and kits that they have at home to create their very own movie sets, and then create a movie complete with music and special effects.
Additional opportunities to work with your LEGO Stop-Motion Guide will be available offline as an additional virtual session for an additional fee.
Virtual Online courses are designed for students to learn at their own pace without any real-time instructor. The course content – lessons, prerecorded video lectures and tutorials, tests and quizzes, homework, and assignments can be accessed by the students enrolled in the course at any time, as long as the course is active and available.
Grades 1st – 6th
