Participation in Animation10 should top the more than 800 schools across the United Kingdom that registered for last year’s competition, according to the University of Manchester. The organizers believe the animation competition will help attract more young people to computing. Students between the ages of seven and 19 will compete to create short, animated films, using the Alice, Scratch Adobe Flash, Greenfoot, or Serif software packages. Winners will receive prizes such as laptops, digital cameras, and MP3 players. Students have until April 1, 2010, to enter the contest, and Manchester will announce the winners on May 3. “We need to encourage the brightest and the best of the young generation to engage in the challenges facing computing–not just to use computers, but to invent the next generation of hardware and software,” says Manchester’s Toby Howard. “And we hope this competition will go some way to raising the profile of computer science amongst children in a fun and exciting way.”
