(Hamilton, ON) - Golden Horseshoe Green Tech (GHGT) invites you to join them for their one day “Story Maker” technology camp. Participants will engage in “telling stories” through video game creation, music creation, and movie making, in a fun-filled afternoon of activities run by experts in the field. The activities offered in this event, by GHGT and other community partners, are designed to provide hands-on experience with digital music, computer coding, digital publishing, green screen effects, and many others. This unique and exciting event is entirely free, and is being offered to the Hamilton community by GHGT, in partnership with the Hamilton East Kiwanis Boys and Girls Club, Mozilla, MacGDI, the Toronto Hive, Sulon Technologies, the Hamilton YWCA, and many others.

GHGT will also offer a unique parents learning session, outlining safe internet practices, modern surveillance techniques used by the government and leading internet service providers, and other investigative techniques used in the modern digital world.
