Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (December 20, 2019) - Kids and teens visiting Velas Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta can learn to be a YouTube star. Launching in February, the resort's new workshop explores how to create video content for YouTube and other social media channels. Developed for children ages 7-17, the YouTube Video Workshop teaches kids how to open an account, create video content, and how to upload videos. With help from the Community Manager, kids and teens will film themselves performing an activity, such as cooking or video blogging. After the recording is finished, the kids will learn how to edit their video and how to upload it onto YouTube. Once the video is edited, the finished clip will be sent to the parents to use for their own social media networks.
