SUMMARY:Reel Stories – Documentary Filmmaking for Youth
DESCRIPTION:This September\, Ed Video launches a new youth program: Reel Stories – Documentary Filmmaking for Youth\, with the support and funding of the J.P. Bickell Foundation. Reel Stories is designed to empower the next generation of storytellers\, giving them the tools and confidence to share their voice with the world. Two separate groups of youth participants (grade 4-8 and grade 9-12) will meet on alternating weeks from 4-6PM to create two short documentaries. Participants will undergo the filmmaking process\, building skills in scriptwriting\, conducting interviews\, camera operation\, lighting\, audio recording and editing under the instruction of Guelph-based filmmaker\, Steve Miller. \n\n\n\n\nSkills in communication\, critical thinking and collaboration will also be developed throughout the program. At the programs’ end in January\, participants will have the opportunity to showcase their completed documentaries for family\, friends and local community members. Reel Stories is more than just a filmmaking course; it’s an experience that equips youth with skills that extend beyond the world of film. \nRegistration for Reel Stories is now open for youth in grades 4-8 and in grades 9-12. Parents and guardians interested in enrolling their children in this free program are encouraged to email workshops@edvideo.org with any questions or accessibility concerns. Spaces are limited\, so early registration is recommended to secure a spot in this innovative and enriching initiative.

SUMMARY:Science on Tap: Stitching Science
DESCRIPTION:Join textile artist Lauren Wright Vartanian and writer Keltie Thomas as we celebrate science-inspired art! \nCome and celebrate the release of Stitching Science\, a stunning science book from textile artist Lauren Wright Vartanian. Scientific topics ranging from Atom to Zenith come to life at the end of Lauren’s skilled needle\, and lively text by Keltie Thomas explains key concepts. \nLauren and Keltie will discuss their journey in creating this fabulous book and it wouldn’t be a true STEAM event (science\, technology\, engineering\, ART\, and mathematics) without the opportunity to unleash our inner artists with some hands-on fun! All this plus beer\, food\, laughs\, and trivia … join us! \nOur good friends from the Bookshelf will be on hand selling copies of the book and both Lauren & Keltie will be happy to sign yours for you. \nSession will begin shortly after 7 pm – seating is first-come-first-served. Additional parking is available at 490 York Road. \nTickets are by donation. Eventbrite requires us to set $1 as the minimum possible donation and UNFORTUNATELY they have not figured out how to have people book more than one spot at a time. For group bookings (of greater than 4)\, please contact royalcityscience@gmail.com for assistance. \n
