Wednesday 3 March, 9.00-12 (around 6 or 7 volunteers required)
'S3 Campus Reporter'
Leith Academy at Edin Uni (room TBC)
If you would like to sign up for this one please email me on claire.aitchison@ed.ac.uk. As this event involves taking a small group around Edinburgh University it is only open to Edinburgh University volunteers or those that know the George Square campus well. The meet up time is 9am (venue TBC) and you will be finished by 12 although an earlier finish time of 11am is also possible. For a summary of this event please see below;
This is the campus based event using hand held video cameras - cue much fun! After the usual ice breaking activity we split the pupils into small teams and set the scene. They are to act as researchers and reporters and will produce a short ‘TV news show’ by the end of the event assisted by you and the LEAPS staff.
Each ‘news team’, is tasked with gathering general background info on the university as they explore the campus with you but they also have a second task which involves them working on a specific ‘angle’ or news item, e.g. ‘The role of the Student Association’ or ‘The Study Environment’. Each group has a different ‘angle’ to report on and they use the video camera to record interviews and footage around campus which will be included in the final ‘news show’.
After a short break at Potter Row union the pupils return to the base room which is set up like up like a TV studio - if you use your imagination! The news show is then ‘broadcast’ with 2 pupils acting as the TV presenters who introduce each of the clips created by each of the news teams.
All of the LEAPS team will be involved in delivering this event and so far the following volunteers have signed up;
