ParaDYM in the COMMUNITY | paradymacademy

ParaDYM Academy is our after-school and extended day program made up of hands- on, interactive, interconnected media programs called, Co-Ops. Co-Ops are designed to empowering at-risk and marginalized youth through transmedia production and media literacy. Our Co-Ops are hands-on, therefore students learn by working on media projects for local nonprofits in need of media production.

ParaDYM Academy

Since 2008, ParaDYM Academy has provided after-school and out-of-school instruction in video production, digital music production, and game design for nearly 2000 marginalized youth throughout Central Connecticut.
