This program is designed to introduce the video projection mapping process and
transfer a variety of associated skills such as videography, video editing, event
management including risk assessments and learning video projection mapping
software. Young people are involved in all aspects of the production and
management of the project from creating the content, to driving the operational
equipment and acting as audience guides. It has links with science and art
curriculum while delivering vocational skills.
The Bioluminescence live event will run at the Grenfell Showgrounds where the
buildings will be lit up with the content made by the young participants on Friday 6
June 2025 after the workshops that will be held on Wednesday 4 and Thursday 5
