An experiment in youth engagement - JD Lasica At the MIT Media Lab recently I interviewed Karen A. Brennan of the Lifelong Kindergarten program about an MIT project called Scratch. In this 3-minute video she tells how youth personal engagement translates into adult civic engagement, bringing the parents, students and teachers together to see how the students were able to construct their own storytelling narratives rather than engage in what the researchers expected: acts of citizen journalism.

Young actors: The magic of performing arts - JD Lasica Cie Probst talks about the nonprofit Tri-Valley Young Performers Academy, which she founded a year ago with another mom and two directors. In this 7-minute video on the set of "The Music Man," she talks about "the magic of performing arts" and watching the developmental growth of young people in such a short period of time. It's a wonderful addition to the San Francisco East Bay's cultural scene. Keywords:play; musical; performing arts; youths; young people; actors Downloads: 1,221 Average rating:(0 review)
