Thursday 11 November, 9.00-12.00 (5-8 volunteers required)
S3 Campus Reporter
Wester Hailes Education Centre at Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh University’s central campus you need to either be a student at the university or be a little familiar with the campus.
The meeting time is 9.00am at the Reception room at the McEwan Hall - you can access this door but walking down the side of the Hall that is opposite Teviot. You continue into the quad at the back of the Hall where the Medical school is and its the first door on your right as you come into the quad. I will post Roy outside to show you the way but if you get lost just call me on 07891 371 889.
We will have a short briefing on the format of the event before the school arrives at 9.30. You will be finished by 12noon although there is a break around 11/11.15 at Potterrow so you could, if you wish, escape at the point if you have a lecture or somewhere else to be.
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 Potter Row 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 signed up;
