Week 2 of C3 Culture Code Camp just wrapped and our scholars did not just learn about content creation — they became content creators.
This week with our partners at Reimagine ATL, campers filmed, directed, scripted, and edited their own content from scratch. One original commercial. Three short stories brought to life on camera. Every scholar rotated through every role — on camera, off camera, directing, scripting, and editing their own footage. The commercial they made this week premieres at our Grand Finale on July 2.
But the moment that stopped us happened in the reading room.
Our reading instructor Mrs. Nathan from Cool Kids Read gave scholars a short story — then asked them to use AI to generate a book cover for it. Before they could touch the AI they had to use descriptive language to tell it exactly what the cover should look like based on what they read. Reading comprehension. Communication. Technology. All one lesson.
We also had a real conversation this week. The creator economy exists right now but it is still new. By the time these kids are adults it will have rules and regulations just like every other industry — and they will be able to say they started content creation in elementary school. At camp.
That is the whole point. Whatever they want to do with their lives — they can do it better when they know how to create, communicate, and use technology with intention.
Week 3 starts Monday. We are not slowing down.
