G (age 15) took advantage of a blustery winter day today, and created A Short Snow Drama with the help of her younger sisters, our old Canon Power Shot A530, Corel's Video Studio Pro x7 (non-affiliate links), and a couple of songs off of YouTube (credited in the video description).
As a mother, of course, I'm thrilled with the end result of her work - a very cute video to share with the grandparents.

As her homeschool teacher I'm loving the hour or two of work that followed the five minute shoot - editing videos, navigating software, dealing with the headaches of lost video files, and music files that just wouldn't link, all the while racing the clock before our outdated laptop decided to overheat and shut-down, only to have to repeat the entire process in order to create a "blogger ready" version with first names removed from the credits.
Software issues, hardware headaches, and a glance at the hard work behind the creative process...
...that's what I call computer science.
It's great to be a homeschooler.
