After School Spring 2012

"White Noise, Blind Spot" is an after school arts and technology intensive and paid leadership opportunity for NYC area high school students. Each year students in Eyebeam's After School Atelier (ASA) program are given the opportunity to work on projects cooperatively with Eyebeam Residents and Fellows, professional mentors, staff, and their peers. This year we are teaming up with journalism training and production institute People's Production House and The New School to produce web based, media rich stories on some of our local community heros. We will mine the streets of Chelsea like urban archaelogists to uncover lost histories, local secrets, and generational wisdom.
