It Could Be U Camp Video Highlights

Well, we had a great time with our first It Could Be U Camp for middle school students last week. As a part of the YES to College program by the Housing Authority of the City of Austin, I, along with 4 Media Proteges, took A & B honor roll students on a series of career and college exploration activities which included visiting ad agency McGarrah Jessee, media production company AMS Pictures, the Texas Advanced Computing Center over the the University of Texas, and Austin Community College gaming and music departments. 

Over the course of 4 days, we interviewed the students about their dreams and aspirations while documenting their experiences through video and blogs published on the new site It Could Be U. We forged some strong bonds with the students and hope to continue working with them throughout the year and have them contribute their own thoughts about the quest for an education via our new site.  

Later, we’ll be editing down all of the interview footage into a short documentary. For now, we have several short videos showing highlights of each day and one larger wrap up video (above).
