PA High School Computer Fair 2011
2011 Workshops
This year at the state competition we are excited to announce three interactive workshops. Each Intermediate Unit will be given two passes for the Digital Movie workshop, one pass for the Animation workshop, and one pass to the GarageBand Workshop for interested students. The technology quiz bowl will be on a first-come, first-served basis and will be repeated to accommodate all students not attending workshops or going on the college tour.
Digital Movie Workshop
This workshop will allow students to be involved in all aspects of creating a short movie. Students will do the writing, the shooting, the storytelling, the graphics, the music, and the editing. This is an all day workshop, 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. with a break for lunch, and will culminate with presenting the finished movie at the awards ceremony.

GarageBand Workshop
Unleash your inner rock star with a hands-on workshop that puts you on stage in Apple's GarageBand. Play an instrument or love to sing? You'll love recording, mixing, and listening to your own song. Not a musician? No problem! Create a podcast or radio show with sound effects, jingles, commercials and more. Come jam with us from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., then hear your project played at the awards ceremony.
