Summer Interns Workplace Learning

New Learning Institute programs help young people transfer the digital media, social, and technological skills they have developed on their own and turn them into authentic catalysts for learning, sharing, and participating. Using innovative curriculum developed in partnership with leading educators, our programs guide young people to best practices using mobile phones and digital media applications to investigate what interests them, solve problems, collaborate with others, and produce media products and publish them to a worldwide audience. NLI professional development gives educators the training and perspective they need to introduce and integrate NLI practices in the classroom, in after-school programs, in cultural institutions, and wherever learning takes place.
