Learning to create a stop-motion movie is the topic of an Eisenhower Library winter break program.
Five spots remain for the two-day program from 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Monday-Tuesday, Dec. 29-30 at the library at 4613 Oketo Ave. in Harwood Heights.
The program is open to 7th-12th graders.
Kathleen Weiss, reference librarian, explained the program would incorporate iPads and other technology to have fun while learning how to tell a story.
Participants will be able to learn how to create stop action animation.
“They’ll be working in groups of five to create a story, design the sets and characters and then film using an iPad.” Weiss explained.
This program is a first for the library.
“We wanted to do something fun while bridging the gap between junior high and high school programs at the library,” she explained. “By blending the two, we want our younger teens to get comfortable” as they move from the children’s department to the youth department.
Each four-and-a-half-hour session will take a break for lunch. Participants may bring a lunch or partake of the offerings at Fannie Schmoe’s in the library lobby.
