Run by the BBC Academy, the event aimed to give the students an insight into working in the broadcasting industry.
The morning session on mobile journalism, taken by MoJo guru Marc Settle, gave them the skills to go out into the city and shoot and edit a film entirely on their phones. Grabbing lunch on the go, the completed films were reviewed and a Best Film award given.
