Media WORKS Enterprise in Scotland - The Assistive Learning Workshop
Lochend Community High School, Easterhouse, Glasgow - Summer 2000

--- At team of four Media WORKS Enterprise staff, including one Intern, conducted a three week new media and material arts immersion experience for 10 - 14 year olds in one of Europe's roughest and most economically depressed neighborhoods. The workshop participants were selected based on having a high absenteeism rate, low academic performance, and disruptive classroom behavior. The five day a week, six hours a day workshop integrated field experiences, with creative activity in the visual arts, digital photography, and website production. After moving their work to and from material and digital media, each participant created their own original electronic portfolio of their work.

Despite the fact that students did not receive a grade or credit for the program, nor were they required to attend, 90% of the students had a 100% attendance record. Self-esteem and self perception tests conducted by Scottish social workers at the beginning and end of the work shop documented a dramatic rise in self-worth and a renewed interest in pursuing more education.

Lochend High School students in Easterhouse, Glasgow increased technological fluency and self-esteem in a three week course offered by Media WORKS staff and Interns.
