Creative Imagination Powered by Technology

6th Grade Students

#PhillyBeatz is a technology based creativity celebration designed for 6th graders. First, Kimmel Center artists visit schools to deliver a Hip Hop inspired Creativity Assembly including an introduction to beat making, followed by a beat-making workshop in 6th grade classrooms. Then, students self-select to participate in a 6-week after school residency at their school. Students final projects are uploaded for showing at Kimmel Center Creativity Celebrations! After the live events a documentary of student experience with samples of student work is shared electronically.
