Kearny DMD Senior Internships Connect to 21st Century Learning

Through the support of Kearny Digital Media and Design staff and Candice Fee, Youth Advocacy Program Manager, DMD has launched the fall senior internship experience. Seniors have been matched with an internship supervisor in an area of student interest and will be producing a media package for that organization. Students will use the production process to develop industry standard media products using the Adobe Suite skills they have been learning since their freshman year. In early 2019, after production, they will participate in a defense of learning where they will discuss connections they see between their experiences and the schoolwide learning outcomes--critical thinking, innovative thinking, civic engagement, and the production process, all leading to college and career readiness--that have been incorporated into their learning since freshman year.
