Songbirds

Project Information

Songbirds Guitar Museum is a guitar-oriented, pop culture experience for the whole family which has recently opened to the public.  To enhance their exhibits of rare and vintage guitars, STEM student teams will develop multimedia content to tell the unique stories behind these instruments and enrich the understanding of museum visitors.  Each team will tell the story of a guitar and how the instrument impacted the world through the creation of a short documentary film. The students involved will need to research, create a storyboard telling the story of the guitars, create a short film on par with industry standards, practices, and techniques, create audio backtracks and voiceovers, and finally arrange and edit all content to skillfully showcase the instruments and their legacy. Students will use a mobile recording rig provided by Dynamo Studios to create the multimedia content.  Dynamo Studios acts as a resource for musicians to generate success in the music world.  Their goal is to be the catalyst in a musician's or student's life that allows them to realize their full potential through innovative, collaborative, production based learning programs.  The primary focus for Dynamo Studios is to facilitate learning through media creation such as film and audio production. Dynamo will provide curriculum, tutorials, lessons, and educational/technical support for STEM School students and staff. For the school partners, the focus is on students achieving higher learning facilitated through the creation of multimedia content to enhance the guitar exhibits.  For the STEM School, the focus is on the collaboration, innovation, and critical thinking skills demonstrated by the student teams.
