Do you enjoy movie nights? Mr. Sapp’s STEM classes are learning about what goes into bringing a movie to life. They have been learning about topics related to “STEM on the Screen!” Students learned how different sounds, makeup, illusions, stunts, and animations in movies and TV are related to STEM. They learned about Foley sounds, stunts that were engineered for safety, how animations come to life, and how movie makeup is done. Mr. Burney lended his expert hand for make-up, and Mrs. Keyfauver taught them how to use the green screen. Students had fun walking the red carpet during the week and showing off all that they learned to faculty and staff! #RoarANDSoar
