The Media Academy provides Madison teens the opportunity to work with music and film industry professionals on the development and publishing of music for social justice. By pairing teens with adult mentors to work on group-oriented and self-guided digital learning projects of interest to them, the inaugural 8-week Summer 2017 Media Academy produced several songs and music videos, a documentary, a DVD and package design, marketing and promotional plans, and a live performance in the common area at the top of State Street.
