Students from University College Isle of Man’s (UCM) Creative Media course have unveiled their latest project at a small ceremony for the students at Scoill yn Jubilee’s Juniors site.
The Level 3 Creative Media students have been working on the design of a new installation representing the values and feelings of the students at the school which houses years 3 – 6. During the project, the UCM students met with the children at the juniors’ site a few times to ensure that final project represented the views of the children.
As well as completing the artwork, the students also created a documentary on the project and worked with suppliers to ensure the final project was complete on time.
UCM’s Head of the Digital Enterprise Faculty, Michael Ulyatt, said: “Working on live projects, such as this and the Crank up Christmas stamp issue last year, is a fantastic learning opportunity for our students. They learn important skills such as communication, stakeholder management, time management and collaboration – our students really do grow and thrive during these projects. A huge thank you to Isle of Man Advertising & PR who has helped our students, and to Signrite who have enabled our students to complete this project at a heavily discounted cost.”
Maxim Kelly, Executive Head of Scoill yn Jubilee, added: “We’re absolutely delighted with the final project! The students at UCM have worked incredibly hard and professionally to consult with our pupils, present their project to myself and produce an end piece they should be incredibly proud of.”
