Tim Needles
The video poetry project in STEAM Power has become a fan favorite. This workshop will present a creative extension to bring the project to a new level using the blackout poetry technique. We will create original blackout poems with the pages of STEAM Power, then help them come to life with sound, animation, and augmented reality. This project can be replicated in various ways, on any level, using high, low, or no tech!
