Last Project Field Trip
The Dare Cycle students (including four 7th graders) and the rest of the 8th grade class visited Amp Lab at Electric Works, several weeks before graduation. Amp Lab, for high school juniors and seniors, offers a similar work environment experienced by the Dare Cycle students: immersive and project-based learning guided by professionals. (May 2024)
Field Trips to End 2023
Concluding the year, our voice-over, photo/video, and writing teams visited media production company Punch Films. Thanks Derek (and Lisa for setting it up) for the amazing tour and for fielding our questions…specifically about animation.
Also in May 2023, the same group visited the amazing recording studio at the University of Saint Francis. Our voice-over team finally recorded their parts in a real studio. Thanks USF Miles for making it happen.
Architects Visit
Dana Wannemacher of Barton Coe Vilamaa Architects and Caeden (their high school intern) met with a Dare Cycle student who designed the hospital from the film.
The architects spoke about how background locations can establish identity and place, and provided Ethan with some sketching tips.
Caeden also professionally rendered Ethan’s hospital, along with Mariana’s house belonging to one of our characters, Isabella. Having graduated, she was in high school when the architects visited.
