Greensboro Youth and Media Festival

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.
