Millennium Fellowship Project: Starting the Creative Chain

In school, we miss out on learning about the creative industry. Did you ever wonder how animated movies were made or where those captivating stories originated? It's disappointing that these aspects were never part of our curriculum. High school presents a great opportunity to introduce students to the creative realm. Offering courses like Film Production, Audio and Video Production, and Animation and Design could allow students to follow their passions. Allowing students the choice to explore beyond the conventional Science, Humanities, or Commerce tracks could open doors to alternative pathways. Personally, discovering my love for 3D animation during my final years of high school made me realize the missed opportunities for earlier exposure. Everyone should be able to be exposed to alternative pathways beyond the traditional ones.
