Jalen Jackson: Kings of the Digital Youth Network

A student participant in the Digital Youth Network talks about his work designing games, Anime music videos, films and comics. This is the final post in our series hearing directly from youth about their work in digital media and its impact.

Hello, I am Jalen Jackson from Carter G. Woodson Middle School in Chicago, Illinois. I am a participant of the DYN Program and i think it is quite awesome and cool.

I am a graphic designer, Video game creator, AMV Creator, Robotics builder, and a poet. An AMV is short for an Anime Music Video which is a video that you create by adding music with TV show clips.

Also, I am one of the best Graphic Designers in the school. Also I have made many games and I am the master builder in our First Lego League team. Last year I was a poet in Brother Mikes class for spoken word.

My youtube page is http://www.youtube.com/user/jaybrocrash Please check out my videos. Also I am an awesome artist and have made 3 comics that i showed at school.

Editor’s Note: Watch Jalen and his mom below discuss Jalen’s participation in the Digital Youth Network program.
