The New York Videogame Critics Circle (NYVGCC) together with The DreamYard Project have announced BX Start, a summer journalism course for underserved high school students in The Bronx.
The Critics Circle’s journalism mentors will use BX Start to teach students the skills necessary to pursue a career in the games industry.
The course will be taught by Imad Khan, an NYVGCC member with by-lines on ESPN and The Washington Post, and Stefanelli Romano, a professor from Bronx High School of Business.
NYVGCC president Harold Goldberg said in a blog post on July 9th.
Goldberg added the BX Start course would start this summer for six weeks with 25 students coming from three schools in the Bronx area. All classes will be taught in an “artful” temporary space, while works for a larger Bronx game center are finished.
The New York Videogame Critics Circle was established in 2012 as a not-for-profit organization, and it is composed of videogame critics, designers, writers, reporters, bloggers and videographers in New York City.
