Monday 20 May, 9.30-11.45
S3 Campus Reporter for Ross High School
Edinburgh University, Old College, Lecture Theatre 175
This is a quite a late S3 Campus Reporter event that had to be rescheduled from earlier in the year but if any of you happen to be around on this date (and not sunning yourself in exotic locations) and are happy to help for a few hours, please pop me an email - claire.aitchison@ed.ac.uk
The meeting place is Edinburgh University’s Old College – Lecture Theatre 175. We will meet there at 9.30am where we will have a short briefing. The school will arrive at 10.00 and your part in the event will be over by 11.30 although if you really want to you can stay to see the end of the event at 12.30 - absolutely no pressure to do that though. Just let me know on the day.
For a short description of the event please see below.
The S3 Campus Reporter event involves you showing a small group of pupils around the university campus while assisting them with their task which is to record a short 1 minute film clip, using hand-held video cameras about a topic connected to university and student life.
After a short break mid way through the event the pupils return to the ‘news room’ and we run the TV news show complete with star presenters from the school and featuring all their news clips. For many pupils it is there first time on a university campus and possible first time they have met a student so they generally love it!
Your role is to share your own experiences re university life and also help them find out everything they need to in order to film their short clip.
It’s dead easy and a lot of fun. Being familiar with Edinburgh is not absolutely essential as you will be accompanied round campus by a LEAPS member of staff and we also pair up volunteers where possible.
So far the following volunteers have signed up for this one;
Claire Pe.
Samantha Mi.
Kelsey Po.
Graham Le.
Gemma Bu.
Caitlin Pu.
Angie Re.
Jenny Ba.
