About this website

In the summer of 2014 Hack the Hood was granted funds the California Workforce Investment Board to design, develop, and implement video projects for training sessions that will accelerate employment and re-employment strategies for California job seekers. Winnow Research Studio was engaged to conduct human-centered design to gain insights from the youth and leaders in the program to better understand how best to leverage video technology to deeply engage youth in learning.

Video in the classroom offers many possibilities. Hack the Hood can improve quality, access and scalability of technology and marketing training for disconnected youth. Together we defined a strategy for video that would speak most effectively to the youth population. This website illustrates our experience and findings.
