Project Title: Generation Genius Authors (GGA)\/Children\u2019s Alley (CA) at Miami Book Fair
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
For nearly 40 years, Generation Genius Authors has been connecting students face-to-face with the authors behind the day\u2019s most critically lauded and talked about books for children and youth, and its goal has remained the same: to cultivate literacy and learning while helping to rear the next generation of engaged world citizens. A variety of literary-focused activities \u2013 including book discussions, Q&As, and in-person meetings \u2013 is how we make that happen. Another unique component of GGA is Teen Press Conference, presented with the National Book Foundation. It\u2019s a wonderful opportunity for high school-age GGA students to meet the \u201cbest of\u201d authors of the year, and take on the role of journalists as they direct questions to the conference\u2019s honoree panel.<\/p>\n
We work closely with Miami-Dade County Public Schools in executing GGA, and to date have provided nearly 300,000 students with thought-provoking and exciting opportunities to explore book culture, while also giving them the opportunity to hear about different careers in the literary and creative industries and develop critical literacy skills outside of traditional learning environments. We make a particular effort to reach students in underserved areas whose families are considered low- or moderate-income. In 2022, 62% of GGA participants were from Title 1 schools and we gifted 6,252 free books to students.<\/p>\n
Additionally, GGA participants are invited to explore the many offerings found at Children\u2019s Alley, a much-anticipated facet of children\u2019s programming at the Fair. This educational playground provides opportunities for learning fun through a comprehensive scope of hands-on, creative, and interactive activities. Approximately 9,000 children and families visited the Alley in 2022, where they enjoyed culturally diverse musical and theatrical performances, storytelling, craft and art activities, science programs, and more \u2013 and where an additional 1,850 free books were distributed to kids.<\/p>\n
