Why we are offering the animation club? Since we have completed with Future City

Design Competition for the 2011-2012 school year, the club name has been changed to the Animation Club and the club also will be an academic club. We will be preparing our students for a project based competition. There is a website that we will follow to reach our goals and create the appropriate projects. For more information please visit the following website: http://www.thinkquest.org/en/

What will Animation Club students do?

Students will be learning several different programs such as, Flash Professional CS5, Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS5 at the beginner level. They will be able to develop a website in ThinkQuest Projects and/or produce an online journal/blog, a stand-alone website, photo essay, animation, public service announcements, video or some combination of these items and/or develop an interactive application or game.
