DIGICOM Learning inspires children’s passion to learn by teaching them to create short videos about their schoolwork, lives, and the world around them. Too many of today’s K-12 students are disengaged, struggling and tuned out. This means way too often; these kids will find the cards stacked against them when it comes to leading productive and fulfilling lives. How do they become tuned-in? Developing Digital Storytelling skills (making short videos) enables students to create their own original videos. This process fosters critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration. Since the earliest existence of human communities, telling stories has been the most powerful means of communication. Today, with the accessibility of digital devices, our youth relates to their own ideas and stories created and presented through short videos. Learning the art of Digital Storytelling empowers students to enhance their sense of self, increase their engagement in their education, and expand their ability to communicate with the world we live in. This revolutionizes the educational experience completely. For more information, visit: www.digicomlearning.com
AMP – Academy of Musical Performance is a music education program whose goal is to enrich the lives of young musicians living in the Coachella Valley by fostering productivity and social responsibility through creativity, communication and collaboration in the development and enhancement of musical performance and concert production skills through participation in a “rock band” style educational setting. AMP is known for its outstanding summer program, featuring the Valley’s top musicians teaching, in small rock band format, the top young musicians in their performance and concert production skills through rehearsals, workshops, individual instruction, and live performances. Due to high demand for AMP bands to perform all year long in a variety of events and venues, the leadership team has added an after-school program to continue the rock band education and experience throughout the school year.
