Young Audiences’ Mobile Creativity Lab is a set of 35 iPads available to educators when they engage select YA artist programs. Equipped with arts apps such as GarageBand and iMovie, the Lab is a powerful tool for engaging students and introducing them to active, creative uses of technology as they learn about art forms such as digital music composition and stop-motion animation. See below for a list of YA artist programs currently utilizing the Mobile Creativity Lab—and stay tuned for more.
