Spooky Halloween STEM (multi-schools event)

Home Educated students have been invited to join in the Halloween fun along with some other schools, at the Yarra Ranges Tech School (YRTS) in Lilydale.

Students will work in teams to develop a story and create a Spooky Film 🎃👻 . The process involves team members taking a role to make a background, create sound effects, and use AI to make music. The students will also work together with their group to utilise stop-motion and the SIM screen, as well as special effects makeup and 3D printed jewellery/adornments, and bring everything together to create their film.

Halloween costumes are encouraged!
