Evaluation of the University of Warwick's outreach programme, UniTracks : The Warwick Young Achievers' Programme : Report 6: 'Shooting the Past', 2017

Abstract

Shooting the Past 2017 was a successful, well appreciated offering for Year 10 members of UniTracks. After the miscarried attempt to offer Shooting the Past in 2016, changes made to the project enabled it to run alongside the long-established The Big Deal Enterprise Challenge in 2017. The young people involved welcomed having a choice of project in their first year as UniTracks’ members, and Shooting the Past should now be seen as a good alternative to the Big Deal. The young people, responsible school staff, and student ambassadors all reported positively on the experience of the project. Highlights for the young people included the residential Launch Days at the University of Warwick, the visit to a local archive, and the chance to research, write, film, edit, and present a documentary film
