Step into Motion Lab and discover how movies and video games turn real human movement into digital characters. Over four days, you’ll explore motion capture technology, analyze what makes animation look realistic (or totally wrong), experiment with how weight, speed, and posture change a character, and direct performances that get transformed into animated skeletons. You’ll think like a game developer, test ideas like a scientist, and design movement like an animator—then showcase your discoveries at the end of the week. No experience needed—just curiosity and creativity. (Grades 6-8)
