More Information RONA Vancouver 2010 Fabrication Shop

In November 2007, 16 young people walked into the new RONA Vancouver 2010 Fabrication Shop and strapped on tool belts to help build the Games. Fab Shop is not just a workshop though; it’s a classroom where participants solve math problems and learn the nuts and bolts of carpentry. The goal is to build skills for long-term employment. To help tell their story in video, VANOC contracted Intersections Media, an organization providing mentoring, training and experience in film and video production for youth with limited access to resources. With mentoring from professional filmmakers, Intersections Media participants narrated and edited the Fab Shop video and provided camera and sound support.
