Our Youth Interns build photography, storytelling, audio, and video in our project based learning environment. SPNN’s Youth Program interns explored a variety of media-making mediums this fall-winter season. Beginning in late October, interns worked on their writing and storytelling skills. Youth members then learned how to use audio-recording equipment and editing programs to produce a short audio-story. Interns developed Photoshop and Lightroom skills to make posters and edit photos. Students also learned photography skills and lighting techniques. To wrap up the season, the youth showcased their final portraits and celebrated their hard work. The 2023 year will be focused on filmmaking, digital illustration/graphic design and animation.

Throughout the season, students also worked independently during SPNN’s Createch drop-in hours on individual passion projects. Projects in progress include a vlog-series, a podcast, and a music album, just to name a few. Look forward to more of their work this 2023!

    This year of working with SPNN has been great, I was able to expand my knowledge and understanding about cameras and editing. Some of my hobbies are watching movies/shows, listening to music, and playing volleyball. I can watch movies/shows all day, a show I really enjoyed is Outer Banks. Some artists I really enjoy are Rocco, Brent Faiyaz, SZA, and Lana Del Rey. Overall, I hope to grow and branch out to new activities and hobbies.
