Class segments offered were Filmmaking, Content Creation and Photography. Project IDEA members were immersed in the world of sports media, producing short-form video content for social media, photographing live games and utilising presenting skills. The short film 'Ripple Effect' is scheduled to premiere at the Turks and Caicos International Film Festival in November.
 
Project IDEA was created for high-school and university students or professionals aged 14-21 interested in photography, design or videography. At the end of the programme, all members will have created content to add to a design portfolio, which can be used for entry to university and prospective creative job roles.
 
 
In Part II, the class segments have been restructured to offer Journalism with Content Creation and Photography. The Journalism class will be producing a contemporary Sports News programme, also capturing activities in the wider communities. Project IDEA runs in 3-month batches, with classes every other week, giving ample time for learning and execution.
