You’re never too young to learn about the exciting world of technology is the philosophy behind Pulse College’s new hi-tech summer camp ‘Fiz Gig, which will take place in the college’s world famous Windmill Lane Recording Studios in Ringsend, Dublin from the 13th of June. Pulse College, leaders in creative media education in Ireland, have introduced the Fiz Gig Summer Camp programme to open up the world of creative media to children and young teenagers aged 9 to 15 years. Staffed by experienced Pulse College lecturers, the week long Fiz Gig summer camps will give participants an insight into the processes and technologies involved in animation and video gaming production, as well as first-hand experience of using the technologies to create their own projects themselves. The camps will run from 9.30am to 3.30pm, Monday to Friday. Activities include web design, movie-making, online gaming and a host of hi-tech challenges.
“The Fiz Gig name represents an explosion of technology and we have designed these workshops so that they are practical, challenging and fun. We believe if children are introduced to advanced creative media technologies from a young age through hands on interactive activities, they will improve their skills and gain great insight into the world of creative media.” explains Naomi Moore, Director of Pulse College and organiser of Fizz Gigs.
Game design and technology is emerging as an exciting growth sector with computers and technology playing a bigger role in our everyday lives. The Irish games industry has grown 400% in the past seven years and it is now one of the fastest growing recruitment sectors in Ireland today. Fizz Gigs encourages the teaching and developing of young people’s creative and technological potential at an early stage and helps them to embrace this new dynamic and growing world.
