Capacity development by connecting with schools
Maskwacis Library coordinated the hosting of Animation Presentation at Ermineskin Elementary School on September 25, 2015 to celebrate Alberta Culture Days.
The Bum Family from the Calgary Animated Object Society presented two of their films and spoke to grades 1 through 6 students about how they are made. They answered questions about animation and involved students in demonstrations. Mom Christina Cook and daughters Zaiya, Medina and Maezy did a great job of engaging and including students in their presentation. Students were inspired to try film making and the hour was enjoyed by all.
