Animation 2013: The 6th Annual UK Schools Computer Animation Competition, 12th July 2013, Manchester, inspiring the next generation of computer scientists
The University of Manchester School of Computer Science launched the UK Schools Computer Animation Competition in 2008 as part of Digital60 – celebrating the 60th Anniversary of “The Baby”, the world’s first stored-program computer, designed and built at The University of Manchester.
The Competition, held annually, is designed to enthuse schoolchildren aged 7-19 about Computer Science. To enter, children create an original computer animation, up to one minute in length, using any of a number of eligible packages including: Alice, Flash, Scratch and Serif Draw. Children can enter as individuals or in small teams, and win prizes for the best work in four age groups: 7-11, 11-14, 14-16 and 16-19.
Our summer Awards Festival is held at The University of Manchester, when winners receive their prizes, and over 300 guests attend talks and spend time in activity rooms exploring the fun side of computing.
The Competition is open to all UK schoolchildren aged 7-19, and is completely free. Teachers: register at elearn.cs.man.ac.uk/animcomp/index.cgi?block=2
