Media Education Development Institute of Alaska (MEDIAK): A media production program that provides hands-on, work-based learning and career preparation activities in the field of media focusing on video, radio and magazine production. All Alaska Native and American Indian high school students in the Anchorage School District are eligible to participate in MEDIAK.
At
MEDIAK, students learn
by doing. And
what they do is pretty exciting:
MEDIAK students make videos and documentary films. They design websites and Public Service Announcements. They publish a magazine. They produce radio and television broadcasts. They have a voice. The world listens.
All the while,
MEDIAK students have opportunities to earn school credit, celebrate Native cultures, experience paid internships with media professionals, and make new friends, and consume vast quantities of pizza!
