Project Title: Muse & Machine 2D animation Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
One of our out of school STEM program focuses on 2D Animation. The program is geared to introduce advanced technology in the arts to black and brown youth. This program runs three sessions throughout the year for a combined total of 45 hours in which the youths will learn professional techniques in illustration and the class will set the foundation for more advanced and higher level animation styles and techniques. The youths will learn how animation art is created from cartooning and character design to visual STORYTELLING and 2D CHARACTER ANIMATION. The classes are taught by a graduate of Tufts University, a lifelong fine art creator and Award Winning Author of 2 children\u2019s books. In April 2021, The Pew Research Center states that:
\nThe long-term outlook for diversity in the STEM workforce is closely tied to representation in the STEM educational system, particularly across the nation\u2019s colleges and universities. (Nadeem et al.)
\nThis demonstrates the apparent need for an early introduction to our programs to better serve many aspiring Black and Latino students across our city and communities. This is just one marker for our at risk population in our area in relation to the academic achievement gap. Our Program is one solution to closing the academic achievement gap and enriching the education of our youth in an affordable manner. Upon completion of the program we host a parent night event where the participants showcase their final projects. The instructor compiles each project into a final group project that is added to our Social Media for future viewing.
\nUnfortunately in 2024, many youth still fall behind with no enrichment, support and no STEM structured activities because parents cannot afford to place them in academically focused programs such as the animation program we offer. <\/p>\n
