July 10-14th Summer Prorgam

Weekly Summary- July 10-14th

This week Regent Park Focus participants and summer staff held a meeting on Tuesday to discuss what needs to be done for the next two weeks. All participants were expected to work on a game idea to be developed and created with Gaming Instructor Fernando Restituto during the summer program. Executive Director Adonis Huggins announced Judy Pham as the summer’s Media Arts Coordinator, who will directed summer participants and hold radio workshops. Video Coordinator Dimitrije Martinovic discussed all the various video editing projects, their progress, and who was assigned to them.


For the week, participants have been finishing up their video projects and starting to consider gaming designs and learning coding. Some students have been assigned to work on radio shows and have been working on securing guests, figuring out relevant topics to explore, and script writing for a radio show.

This Friday, Judy held a radio script writing workshop to see how participants are progressing in their development. Each participant was given a worksheet on how to write a radio script, along with a sample radio script to see how the principles of radio script writing are applied. Participants practiced working on writing a radio script for their ideas on social justice topics of the Catch da Flava Youth radio show hosted on Tuesday nights. Participants were asked to present three topics by Tuesday.
