Interactive School/Community Partnerships Map 2010

School Partnerships

Street-Level currently works in 18 Chicago Public Schools to provide after-school workshops, integrated media arts programs in the classroom, and media arts electives. Partnerships have been established with science, language arts, visual arts, hearing impaired and bilingual classrooms to create videos, animations, audio, music and multimedia installations. As part of our schools program, Street-Level offers collaborating teachers hands-on exploration of various multimedia for their use in the classroom. Street-Level is currently partnering with five lead schools in the Chicago Public Schools Technology Magnet Cluster to develop a comprehensive integrated digital media arts curriculum, including digital video and audio production, digital photography and graphic design, for students in 6th through 8th grade.

Community Partnerships

As a leader in the youth media arts field, Street-Level is strongly committed to fostering innovative media arts curricula in new and existing community technology centers. Street-Level also partners with youth programs and community-based organizations across the city of Chicago, facilitating the incorporation of media art making and technology programming into their on-site programming. Street-Level assesses the technological needs and interests of each community partner and works with them individually to develop creative, supportive, and productive programs and educational environments for young people.
