90% of youth participants successfully completed 60 hours of digital arts training, developing new skills in the artform. 85% of audience goers indicated an increased appreciation for the role of youth in using the arts as a means for community advocacy and cultural enrichment. Evaluation methods include: attendance tallies during trainings and mentorship activities; formal skill assessment (participant rubric); exit interviews with participants; sample surveys with audience attendees; and instructor and community feedback provided at the conclusion of the project. Completed product is also assessed using a standardized rubric that measures aesthetic, technical and content application.
