Basecamp, Power Mac Center‘s official training provider, announces its Design Trail and Vision Hub workshop series to offer fun and age-appropriate digital courses on animation, game design, web design, video editing, and app development starting on April 11 and will be offered all year long.

“Parents always want the best for their kids, and Basecamp is here to help them provide the best digital learning experience. Just like a real base camp, we serve as a storehouse of food for the imagination and equipment needed by kids to survive the digital wilderness and, figuratively speaking, to scale the mountains ahead. Our courses are conducted by expert mentors who can readily address kids’ natural inquisitiveness and ensure their holistic development.”

Basecamp Design Trail and Vision Hub Courses
The courses use the power of Apple technology and equip workshop participants with the knowledge, skills, and aptitude to succeed in their chosen path or simply enjoy exploring their talents and interests.
In particular, they can improve in the following skills:
- Storytelling with iPad – to help express stories and ideas through comics brought to life by technology after completing the Design Trail courses “The Art of Comics” and “2D Animation using iPad”. These are designed for 7-10 to help strengthen visual and communication skills. Meanwhile, young adults aged 16-21 years old can enroll in Vision Hub’s “3D Creation and Animation for Beginners” for a dive into animation techniques and software tools used in the industry
- Programming and STEM skills – kids can familiarize themselves with Minecraft for Education or build their own Roblox game and publish it on Roblox Studio. This helps build science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills, unleashes creativity, and engages students in collaboration and problem-solving. Meanwhile, kids and young adults can hone their skills in web design, video editing, and app development. These digital courses are conducted either online or face-to-face and are available year-round.
- Non-digital skills – Design Trial for Kids also offers courses to develop analog skills like drawing, painting, printmaking, and mang-creation. Young scientists are also invited to discover scientific concepts through hands-on activities and inquiry-based learning.
The non-digital courses are conducted exclusively in person to increase children’s appreciation for the value of hands-on work and imagination. The Basecamp training center is located at 3/L Glorietta 5, Ayala Center, Makati City.
