As we have worked in the field of youth
media for the past 15 years — refining our strategies for
media making, technology integration, and project - based learning in informal and formal settings — we have learned that with the right supports, educators anywhere can facilitate meaningful
activities that promote
media literacy and empower youth to create
media with purpose.
If your school / after school is randomly assigned to the non-implementation group, you will implement your after - school STEM programming as normal, but will 1) participate in the data collection
activities for the study (see above); 2) receive $ 2000 yearly to support staff time for data collection and purchasing materials; and 3) have the opportunity to participate in a 10 hour workshop series exploring MediaBreaker (an online learning and editing tool for the development of 21st century
media literacy skills).
