Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

16 youth participants across two workshops will participate for the duration of the program. 90% of students will indicate that this class empowered them to impact societal perceptions by creating media themselves. Youth's attendance will be tracked by Minneapolis Television Network's Director of Education. All youth participants will take an 'end-of-program' qualitative assessment of the class, content, instructor, and results.

Measurable Outcome(s)

All youth that participated in this program were trained in and utilized media creation technology including cameras, microphones, lights, and editing software. All youth were given basic introductory experience to utilizing these technologies, and resources to continue learning and practicing their skills.
