Interactive Media students are world-changers – and this starts while they are in the program. In January, all students enroll in the class Interactive Project for the Public Good. Working in small, cross-functional teams, they put their new design and production skills to work to support the work of non-profit organizations. This immersive and authentic work experience ensures every student will gain competencies in collaborative work within diverse teams, project management, and communication with diverse stakeholders.
Previous classes have worked with clients in many locations, including:
One of our two groups that traveled to Cuba created an interactive storytelling site for a farm in Cuba called La Finca Coincidencia. On this farm, ceramic art and sustainable farming practices coexist. The project includes photos and videos that capture the life and mission of Héctor Correa and his family as they live and work on their farm.
Team Bermuda worked with the Bermuda Heart Foundation to rebrand, redesign and further their mission of promoting heart-healthy lifestyles.
Team Ecuador
Niños de Nueva Esperanza is a nonprofit organization that serves the children of the Sabana Seca community with personal academic tutoring services, as well as other resources for community members and families. This project champions the organization’s story through visuals, videos and written content with a website that easily transitions between Spanish and English.
Team Colombia
The Afro-Atenas project team worked throughout the city and Province of Matanzas to meet with prominent figures in the Afro-Cuban religion and culture. Their interactive site takes you through the history of the Afro-Cuban religion through dance, art, and tradition.
