McKeon Center for Creativity Micro-Credentials
The McKeon Center for Creativity administers two micro-credential opportunities. Micro-credential earners will receive a digital badge that can be placed on a resume, LinkedIn profile, email signature, website, etc. Micro-credentials are also housed on a student’s Credly page.
Story Xperiential Storyreel Workshop
Earners learn from Pixar and Disney pros about creating a storyreel, or animated film draft. Through a 40-hour minimum series of workshops, seminars, and assignments, earners will complete an 8-step program that covers concept, character, art, outline, acts 1- 3, and editing. Earners create and upload their project for feedback from professionals and other earners. Upon completion, they receive a certificate from Story Xperiential, and they can submit to one of the organization’s three annual global exhibitions.
Eligibility
Participants must be enrolled in a TCC digital media, art, communication, or honors course, or be recommended by faculty.

Students will emerge with honed improv skills, greater quickness of mind and thinking, and the resilience to experiment.
