shortened their usual four hour,
in-person sessions to 90 minutes
each for online delivery in response
to the COVID 19 pandemic. Their
curriculum was redesigned as online
bootcamps which focused more on
independent learning of a topic or a
technical skill. Each week's bootcamp
covered a different topic such as:
directing the actor, audio editing,
colour correction, etc.
These bootcamps were designed and
delivered to introduce the participant
to a skill, followed by allowing
participants to engage in different
exercises to put theory into practice.
To better continue virtually supporting
youth with their creative journey, a new
program was developed in addition
to these offered bootcamps. This
advanced workshop series consisted
of 120 minute long sessions where
participants worked on developing
and customizing their online portfolios
for jobs and school applications.
