YouMedia Chicago in Action!

YouMedia Chicago is an innovative, 21st century learning space, housed at the Harold Washington Library, created to inspire collaboration and creativity among Chicago urban young adults as they work in groups on projects and learn vital digital media skills. I spent a brief moment in the YouMedia lab tonight, and let me tell you the design and setup of all the technology is really nice! And since Black Digerati is based in Chicago, we’re currently working on developing a relationship with the leadership at YouMedia to act as ‘technology mentors’ to some of the youth. More info on that to come, but in the meantime check out the video created by some of the youth as they tell the story of YouMedia:
