Form and Function 2006, Flash Animations (City Arts and Tech High School) I collaborated with biology teacher, KC Jones, to teach 90 10th-grade students to use Flash and information design to portray functions of internal systems of the human body.

The Immigrant's Song 2006, Flash Interactives (City Arts and Tech High School) Each 10th-grade student created a Flash interactive based on stories culled from an interview with an immigrant from the Bay Area communitiy. This project was a collaboration with Spanish teacher, Anne Raeff, and humanities teachers, Paul Koh and Kristin Russo.

Agent A 2006, Video Game (ZEUM) Approximately 10 grammar-middle-school kids made this video game about a spy in search of jewels that, when brought together, form a jewel of peace. The spy goes through a museum, averting lasers, through a jungle and in a hallway full of mysterious doors.

Chocolate Reality 2006, Movie (Young Artist Program at the SFAI) This movie was made by a group of very talented high school students. They conceived of this on a Friday, storyboarded over the weekend. The following week, they shot the video, animated, made back grounds, found sound and sequenced it all together: all in a week's time.

Sound Mixers 2006, Interactive Sound/ Music Game (Young Artist Program at the SFAI) This simple little program was made by high schoolers, many new to Flash and all of them were new to programming. They programmed an interactive sound mixer game.

Wealthy & Healthy 2006, Video Game (Community School of Arts and Music) A small group of kids ranging in age from 9 - 16 worked together to make this video game in Flash. They came up with the idea together and each person designed a different segment of the game.

Red Dragons Community 2006, Zine (SCORES) These boys officially stole my heart. I worked with them for a year at a school in East Oakland. We rarely had a room to work in and had to improvise with asphault, picnic benches and several different classrooms that we would always get kicked out of. We made a zine about how community can work together better- how to talk out solutions to community problems ranging from immigration to violence.

The Questions 2005, Movie (SCORES) These boys are so great!! We made a movie together in which they asked questions about different things from whimsical, kid-style jokes to deep political inquiries.

Oompa Loompa Radio 2005, Radio Show (East Oakland Leadership Academy) This CD has the radio show developed by the 6th and 7th graders at the East Oakland Leadership Academy. They came up with everything, from commercials "selling" peace of mind to a musical about the Black Panthers. The afterschool group, a small group of boys who I worked closely with, made up songs about AIDS, peace and dealing with violence.

Inside Sobrante Park 2005, Vinyl Stickers (SCORES) A group of girls in Sobrante Park designed this sticker that displays all the different components of their neighborhood, Sobrante Park. This sticker shows everything- the good and the bad. These girls investigated the issues going on in the neighborhood, and wrote to city council member, Larry Reid, about the closing of a local park.

Ghosts of Sobrante Park 2005, Animation (SCORES) The middle school girls I worked with in Sobrante Park each made up a ghost character for the neighborhood. The characters include the following: a grizzly bear, an Ohlone girl, a gold miner, an African-American steel worker and a Mexican woman (from when California was still part of Mexico). They drew their ghosts on the sidewalk and then made this little animation.
