MOVIE PRODUCTION
Do you love the movies? Have you ever wondered what
it takes to make a short film? This course isn’t about
making TikTok videos. Instead students learn the craft
of movie production. Students learn the pre-production,
production, and post-production process as they work in
teams to act in, record, and edit a short film. DC and its
history serve as story inspiration and a scenic resource for
location shooting, just like in the real movies!
INSIDE OUT: A MINDFULNESS JOURNEY
Did you love the movie Inside Out and want to learn
the value of mindfulness? Join us for Inside Out: A
Mindfulness Journey! This is your time to learn essential
life skills for managing stress, learning how your mind
and emotions can be your friends, feeling the power
of being well and in balance with nature, and most
importantly, how to have a sense of humor and fun even
in the hardest of times.
We will spend our time learning how to be present
and mindful, within different situations; we will journey
inward and explore who we are and what we need to live
in balance; we will draw, paint, write, sing, dance, move,
breathe, and eat – yes eat! You will develop practices like
journaling to record your experience. As a final project,
your class will develop lessons for your peers to learn the
benefits of a mindful life.

PINBALL WIZARDS
In this Intersession, students will utilize the PinBox
3000 Pinball Machine Kit to design, wire, program, and
construct a playable table top version of their own pinball
machine. Students will focus on researching pinball
machines, designing a possible machine, committing to
one, producing a prototype of their product, testing it out,
and presenting it to their peers during Showcase Day.
Students will work through the design cycle, modeling
the process inventors, engineers, and designers use to
produce many goods and products found in stores and in
everyday life. Students can work as individuals or in small
teams. Field trips and on-site research at local venues will
provide valuable inspiration and fun for your final product.
All ideas—great and small—are welcome; no previous
experience with pinball, inventing, or tinkering is required
here. Everyone starts somewhere, and Pinball Wizards just
might be that for you.
