From AI technologies to cutting edge digital games, students and teachers are amping up their creative and digital skills through an immersive education program by ACMI, the national museum for screen culture at Fed Square.
Creative Industries Minister Colin Brooks announced the 2024 ACMI education program on October 20, with a variety of creative learning opportunities and experiences designed to teach new digital skills and knowledge.
“This education program is tailor-made to help Victorian students and teachers to build their digital skills and literacy and approach their learning and teaching in new creative ways,” Mr Brooks said.
Supported through the Department of Education’s Strategic Partnerships Program and Creative Victoria, the ACMI education program highlights emerging technologies across film, TV, digital games and digital art.
Students of all ages will undertake hands-on workshops in filmmaking, narrative game design, animation and more.
All workshops are designed to build skills in problem solving, collaboration and storytelling, and as well media and digital literacy.
The program also includes interactive onsite and online talks that connect with classroom learning, film programs that build critical thinking as well as school group visits to ACMI’s world-class exhibitions.
More than 98,000 primary and secondary students from across Victoria participated in ACMI’s education program last year, alongside more than 2000 teachers. More than 110,000 students are expected to participate in 2024.
Online education resources are also available for teachers on the ACMI website including free lesson plans.
