I had the chance to be a part of the first
Youth and Media Festival (YAMFest) held here at Grimsley. The mission of the festival
is Exploring the arts and engaging the world through
technology. I was
very excited to be a part of this event and learned a lot from the various
presenters in attendance.
This year I have been given the privilege of
being the Project Director for the 2014 YAMFest. As
a senior at Grimsley High School I enjoy learning about youth and media
interactions at the international level. I became involved with the Greensboro
Youth and Media Festival last year and enjoyed learning about the impact that
social media and technology has on youth today. It inspired me to delve deeper
into the creative ways that social media is used to express different mediums
of art. I look forward to the challenge of making this YAMFest bigger and
better.
I met with the faculty advisor for YAMFest and
we have begun the process of choosing the YAMFest team and the date for the event. I am excited about the
support and encouragement I have received from my friends.
