Screen Education Center
The AFI Screen Education Center empowers teachers to use filmmaking and media
production to engage students in the study of traditional subject matter, get
them excited about what they are learning and give them new tools for expressing
their knowledge and understanding. AFI is expanding the K-12 program from a
demonstration project into a national program. Thousands of young people are
now learning to use digital cameras and computer editing systems to tell stories
and demonstrate mastery of their studies. In the process, they are preparing
for the jobs of the future by becoming literate in the language of the 21st
Century. The AFI Screen Education Center programs not only work with highly
motivated students, but also engage those who for one reason or another—language
barriers, learning disabilities, different ways of processing information—haven't
enjoyed success with their studies before.
