BBC-British Broadcasting Centre get a shock from Tech Camp 08

On Tuesday the 5th August, the great Tech Camp of 2008 paid an exciting visit to Northern Ireland's BBC. We arrived around midday and immediately was taken to the scene of the crime (News Studio) by Neil. However, we were in for a surprise, no, not Fiona Bruce, but Liz. She showed us around the studio of... wait for it... News, Hearts and Minds, Politics Show, and more!

Then we went up to the gallery, where we were a man showed us many, many televisions and loads of sound tracks. This is where all the sound and cameras are controlled, and they even have a intruder alert!

After that, we went up to the [continuity] room where controls what advertisements are and where the person tells us what is on next. We even got a preview of a new trail.

Finally we got to go to the graphics room. This is where every logo and advert is designed. It was cool! Alan even knew a guy there! Wow! How wicked is that!

BBC was a great visit and we all had fun!

I for one would just like to say one thing about this trip, and I'm sure everyone agrees:

THANKS TECH CAMP LEADERS!
