Wednesday 10 November, 9.30-12.30 (6-8 volunteers required)
S3 Campus Reporter
Alloa Academy at Heriot Watt University
If you would like to sign up for this workshop please email me on claire.aitchison@ed.ac.uk. As this event involves you escorting a small group of pupils around the Heriot Watt campus you need to either be a student at the university or be familiar with the campus.
The meeting time is 9.30am in the 'Colin Maclaurin, room s01' where we will have short briefing on the format of the event before the school arrives. You will be finished by 12.30 but there is the option of an earlier getaway around 11.30 if you need to nip off to a lecture, etc.
For a summary of the S3 Campus Reporter event please see below;
This is the campus based event where the pupils use hand held video cameras around campus. 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 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 the university café the pupils return to the base room which is set up like a TV studio – if you use your imagination! The news show is then broadcast with 2 pupils acting as the newsreaders who introduce each clip created by each of the news teams.
Most of the LEAPS team will be involved with this one and so far the following volunteers have volunteered for this one:
