WOSU@COSI mediaLab
WOSU Public Media’s Ross mediaLab at WOSU@COSI is a training ground for the next generation of content producers. The lab is used to incubate and create media in many forms for use across many platforms, including broadcast on WOSU. In the process, young people can learn how to critically assess the media all around them -- movies, video games, iPods, blogs, television, cell phones, billboards, web sites. Though they are sometimes aware of their choices, most youth rarely question the images and sounds around them. The mediaLab will encourage them to develop a new set of critical thinking skills as they create and consume media.
Technology isn’t just for young people! Join WOSU for fun new classes for parents and their children, ages 9-18 years old. Seating is limited to 5 parent/child registration so you get the most out of your experience together. Taught by ITSCO, the leading technology trainer and resource for teachers throughout central Ohio, families will learn in a fun and safe environment.
