MAINE MEDIA-ARTS PROJECT
Description
The Maine Media-Arts Project (MEMAP) is a volunteer organization whose primary mission is to educate Maine students in the Media-Arts through free in-school workshops, instructed by business world professionals. MEMAP’s secondary mission is to help build new-media and technology based career opportunities for Maine graduates within the state of Maine.
The Maine Media-Arts Project started out as the Southern Maine Animation Workshop. The workshops were so well received by the student participants and their parents it was apparent that there was a need to start something on a larger scale. Shortly after the workshops, the Maine Media-Arts Project was born. The Maine Media-Arts Project is just over a year and a half old and now receives over 30,000 unique monthly visits to its web site MEMAP.ORG, over 1,000 daily subscribers to it’s daily RSS news feed and over 2,000 subscribers to it’s Digerati University podcast which has twice been featured in Apple’s iTunes top 100.
“The Maine Learning Technology Initiative (MLTI) is the largest educational technology project in the history of Maine and perhaps the world. Maine stands as the first state to embark upon a plan to eliminate the digital divide by providing a laptop to each and every 7th and 8th grade student and teacher. The vision behind MLTI is very simple: to provide the tools and training necessary to ensure that Maine’s students become the most technologically savvy students in the world.” -Maine Learning Technology Initiative Web Site
