OEC are officially a WHYY Media Lab School !
What this means for us starting in the fall: we have a full lab with cameras, media equipment, and computers for kids to make commercials, videos, and documentaries. We have a full time teacher working with a group of students who want to see their creative dreams come to light.
Special thank you to WHYY for this opportunity for OEC kids!
