Leyla and Lucy who are going into Year 8, had a fantastic opportunity to attend Rise Academy Summer School for the day at MediaCity in Manchester. The Rise Academy Summer School offers young people the chance to get hands-on experience of working in media technology and learn about all of the different steps that are needed to get great content onto your TV, tablet or phone, including:
- Building a TV studio and creating a TV show
- Exploring an Outside Broadcast (OB) Truck
- Creating eye catching graphics
- Learning more about post production and getting hands-on editing video content
- Finding out more about what virtual production is
- Exploring cloud technology
They both also had a tour of the BBC studios where the BBC News and BBC Sports are recorded. Both students said that they didn’t realise how few woman were in the world of media technology. Leyla and Lucy have shown a keen interest to now take part in this yearly!
