Summer Internship at Adobe!!
So, this summer I applied for and received through IISME, an internship to work at Adobe with the Adobe Youth Voices Program. I feel really fortunate, and honored to have this chance to do the kind of work I love the most, that is working with youth and making media. So far, I've had the chance to go to Philadelphia and present workshops on animation, flash, and integrating the Adobe Youth Voices curriculum in the classroom. I am also helping with the planning and organizing of the International AYV Summit at the beginning of August. Out of this experience I am also developing a lesson plan for students and other teachers to use Adobe Acrobat Pro to create ePortfolios for their work this year. I am also using Summer time as a chance to work on developing some of my neglected skill sets, like web desgin, 3d modelling, and hopefully some Action Scripting for Flash. My family has just moved and is settling into a new place, and the boxes are still piled high, but I am very excited about our new arrangements and everything that is happening. It's great being able to spend more time with my daughter and partner, and although I miss the old collective living arrangement at Praxis House in some ways, I have been wanting to live in a smaller arrangement for many years. This summer feels very rewarding in both personal and professional ways. Looking forward to the months to come. The picture attached is a rough layout for a poster I am working on. It's still in the earlly stages.
