Engineers Night featuring The 4th Annual Brick Film Festival
Engineers Night is on Thursday, February 21st and will include our 4th Annual Brick Film Festival. The festival features stop-motion films created by Oak Grove students. To enter, students should use stop motion technology to create a short film and upload the film to youtube. This year's theme is "Problem Solved!" Films should include a solution being found to a problem. It can be a small problem like how to pack everything for a big trip into a small bag, or a bigger problem like how to cross a river with no bridge. While lego is what is typically used for the Brick Film Festival, other props can be used. It can even be a 2-d film using paper like this one (but try to keep hands out of the frame!) Films need to be under two minutes and the youtube link sent to OakGroveSTEM@comcast.net by February 18th at midnight. Stop Motion is a fun and easy and is a great project for winter break! There are many free apps available as well as how-to articles online. Check out our submissions from last year here. Students completing their films early can enter them in the Dekalb County Technology Fair being held on January 26.
