What do you get when you mix inquisitive 9-12 graders with the newest technology and add a healthy dose of fun?
The answer is ‘Summer Creative Sessions’, just finishing it’s inaugural permutation at Florida Panhandle Technical College in Chipley, Florida for Summer 2019, as seen in these photos from six weeks of classes at the college.
‘I didn’t know what to expect, but I was excited to find out that we would fly drones, learn the basics of photography, and shoot video and audio for a TV commercial’, said 16 year old Dalton Eastling of Vernon High School as he received his Certificate of Completion from the Inaugural Summer Creative Sessions at Florida Panhandle Technical College.
From drone technology to professional quality photography in a studio environment, to writing and producing a television commercial, to recording vocals and instruments in a sound studio, to shooting photos and video clips at Falling Waters State Park, students in the free Summer Creative Sessions at Florida Panhandle Technical College have experienced a wide variety of high-tech creative endeavors this Summer.
‘We were fortunate to have a group of very bright individuals in this Summer’s class’, said Instructor Paul Goulding as several students recorded the audio tracks to accompany their video production, ‘and we are excited to be able to offer this program during the Summer months, all courtesy of the Florida Panhandle Technical College Foundation and a grant from Wells Fargo Bank’.
‘We are proud of our students and we are proud to be a part of these students lives’, said Martha Compton, FPTC Director, as she handed out certificates and posed with the students.
Students from Bonifay, Vernon, Graceville, Bethlehem, Cottondale and Chipley embarked on a learning journey inclusive of drone technology, principles of photography, video production and audio production, music and social media, all at no cost to 9th-12th graders interested in learning more about this technology, with a new class starting each Monday during the Summer.
