Texas Techies Organization, Grande Communications and Celebration Nation proudly hosted the Texas Techies Animator 2011, a competition where we invite all area school children (Kindergarten - 12th Grade) to create an animation using the software Scratch.
For this year's competition, the challenge was centered around a single theme,"The Oceans", and we allowed the animators a great amount of creativity in their interpretation and execution of that theme.
Over 200 Corpus Christi area school children participated in the Texas Techies Animator 2011 competition and spent the past two months creating their own animations, games, stories, art and music for submission to the Texas Techies Animator 2011 competition.
Forty-Nine (49) projects were successfully submitted and qualified in the semi-finals. 11 students made the final cut and were selected as the finalists.
