SBAAM-South Bronx Academy of Applied Media '06

Opened in Fall 2005, The South Bronx Academy of Applied Media is a middle school where students, or "scholars" have a chance to be creative in ways beyond art and music. Radio Rootz holds an after school class open to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who are interested in radio production and media. This is the only middle school Radio Rootz teaches in and these young scholars present great talent and potential.

These bright scholars have the chance to explore and document issues about their school and their community. The students have quickly picked up radio production skills and at the same time are learning about the media and what it is. The Radio Rootz team has successfully completed a piece about their annual celebration of Spirit Week and is currently working on a project about their community of the South Bronx.
