Canmore Tech Student Recognition
Congratulations to Colin Fearing of Canmore who recently created a short film combining AI-generated imagery, facial motion capture, and hand/procedural animation with intimate human storytelling. The film was displayed on subway screens across Calgary and Edmonton as part of FAVA's 2022 Gotta Minute Film Festival. It also won 2nd place overall.
As well, Colin’s nature video "A World Beyond The Screen" was recently shown at the Calgary International Film Festival, and was also accepted to several other festivals, including the Newport Beach Film Festival just outside of LA. This video is notable because the first 90 seconds are almost entirely computer generated - my house doesn't look anything like that!
Both videos are on Colin’s "Videos" webpage here.
Get Started in Electronics
For ages 9-14…learn how to build your own electronics and robotics.
New skills include building circuits, connecting them to a micro-controller and writing a code to control the circuit (an intro to robotics).
More info coming soon.
Previous Clean Tech Speaker Series Events
CleanTech to Combat Emissions: A Startup's Journey in Addressing the Oil and Gas Emissions Problem
Presenter: Liz O'Connell, President and Co-Founder of Arolytics, a software-based startup that leverages data and modelling to optimize how the oil and gas sector measures, mitigates and discloses atmospheric emissions - www.arolytics.com
Approximately 3.6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas escapes into the atmosphere from global oil and gas operations annually, amounting to about $30 billion in lost revenues.Increasing regulatory, financial and investor pressures have raised the importance of emissions management. How big is this problem in Alberta, what is the role of cleantech in the solution, and, is Canada on track to achieve national reduction targets?
