The North Vancouver School District's Digital Media Academy presented a Digital Media Youth Expo at Argyle secondary March 2. Several hundred attendees took in a wide variety of film, animation, video gaming and media presentations.

Aimed at high school students and parents, the expo featured booths from more than a dozen post-secondary institutions and industry leaders.

Hands-on workshops in special effects, makeup, storyboarding and writing made for an in-depth introduction to digital media. Info: dmacademy.ca. Use the Layar app on your smartphone to view a video shot at this event.
