SUMMARY:Digital Art and Technology Access
DESCRIPTION:DATA is a media arts and technology program designed for neurodivergent individuals ages 13-19. A series of year-round workshops builds creative and social skills. Students learn a range of media-based practices like illustration\, animation\, and game design to support individual and collaborative projects. We value long term relationships with students\, families\, and teachers.\nIn DATA we provide a minimum 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio\, noise-canceling headphones\, snacks\, and a separate sensory-friendly space outside the classroom for breaks. Most participants have Autism Spectrum Disorder and related diagnoses\, but a formal diagnosis isn’t required for participation. If you aren’t sure if your teen is a fit for DATA\, please reach out and we can help. Our patient and passionate instructors have extensive experience working with neurodivergent teens\, and all have relevant combined training and/or degrees in fields like fine art\, special education and social work. \nDATA is tuition free and space is limited. Fall session application is open now.\n\nOctober 3-December 12\n(10 classes\, no class Nov 28)\nSaturdays\n10am-1pm\nat Squeaky Wheel\n  \nThis fall we are thrilled to welcome back Teaching Artist Jake Reber. We will use a range of digital tools for drawing\, animation\, and game design. Students will have the option of incorporating projects they are already working on\, or starting with fresh ideas.  \nScroll down to “tickets” to complete the simple application form.  Please note that this is an application that must be reviewed\, not a first-come first-serve registration. \nIf this is your first time applying to DATA\, you’ll hear from Caroline\, our Education Director\, to schedule a phone call or meeting to discuss the program in greater detail\, and to ensure that we are a good fit for each other. From there\, the Education team will review all approved applicants and fill any open spots. Preference is given to returning students\, those already on the waitlist\, and new applicants with the strongest interest. Anyone we aren’t able to invite to the fall session will be automatically added to the waitlist for future sessions. \nWhile we welcome all skill levels\, DATA is usually the best fit for students who can confidently work independently and who already know they have a strong interest in computer-based digital arts. We unfortunately aren’t able to support individuals with high one-on-one needs. \nQuestions? Please email caroline@squeaky.org\, or call 716-884-7172. \n\n  \nDATA is generously supported by The Children’s Guild Foundation\, The Peter and Elizabeth C. Tower Foundation and the Golisano Foundation\, with nutrition support from Wegmans. Thank you!! \n  \n
