While we had a great time talking to Jodie about our work and having students show her their videos, music, designs, 3D models and more, we couldn’t end without sitting her down for a quick interview!
DJ Filter of Remix Radio takes a moment to speak with Jodie about the wonderful work The Common Ground Foundation is doing and their plans for the new partnership with DYN!
Now that we’re wrapping up another school year, its time to start getting ready for summer!
Once again DYN will be hosting its summer workshop with a select group of students. This year though, we’ve added some special pieces to the experience!
We’re wrapping up completion on the new DYN Media Center, a 3000+ sq ft media rich home for DYN on 47th street next to Little Black Pearl! So this summer’s workshop will be the first DYN programming hosted in our new home!
In addition to our new digs, we’ve made a powerful partnership this year to create an even richer experience for our students. We have partnered with the Independent Feature Project(IFP), a independent film advocacy organization, to support our students in creating their own short film this summer!
IFP has done wonderful work at another Chicago high school with a similar project winning multiple Emmy Awards for the student produced films! Their expertise along with DYN’s experienced team of youth media producers is bound to create amazing results!
Students will have the option to join the video group, music group, design group and the “behind the scenes crew”! All groups will be working on projects around the production of the film.
6th grader Tirane was the first customer in Remix World’s new online store!
Students can earn ‘Remix Dollars’ through writing blogs as well as producing and critiquing media.
Students have been earning Remix Dollars for months, competing to be the top earner in Remix World. Now with the newly launched store, they’re able to cash their dollars in for iPods, video games, gift cards and more!
After 3 years working out of our flagship school, North Kenwood/Oakland Middle, we’ve finally started construction on our own home!
Starting this summer we’ll be hosting much of our programming with students, teachers and the community out of our new space on 47th St right next to Little Black Pearl!
