global digital creativity research & workshops

On the 26th of January 2006 eight creative learners from King Harold School worked in Ultralab at Anglia Ruskin University with researchers Hal MacLean and Matthew Eaves to further their skills with Final Cut Pro, a computer application to create and edit visual material.

The young people at King Harold School work closely with the Ultralab on projects using technology for creative purpose, recently supporting Ultralab at the BETT education show in London this January providing the young people to work on the stand and demonstrate new technologies and how they could be applied in classroom teaching.

The objective of the training day was to begin the process of learning how to manipulate the footage to create visually appealing programmes suitable for television. King Harold School is an innovative school which is always looking for new ways to broaden learning opportunities for it students to enable, include and encourage work on real world projects and innovations prior to employment.

Ultralab works with many schools nationwide, promoting how technology can be used to creative purpose in the classroom, Ultralab is working closely with the school to develop new ways of working together in a pilot which will see young people move involved in project based learning while exploring the potential of a future at University.

The Ultralab team works each year on the ‘Create at BETT’ stand at the BETT show. The show is attended by 26,000 visitors each year and has over 2000 stands. The Create at BETT stand is supported by Apple Computer and staffed by Ultralab. Our friends from BBC Blast joined the stand for the first year to promote young peoples creativity.

Ultralab’s partner schools King Harold School and Saffron Walden County High School assisted on the stand providing young people to demonstrate to the visitors podcasting, animation, sound and vision technologies.

Jane Down from the Ultralab team spent BETT working in the NAACE Lounge demonstrating Podcasting to NAACE members.
