For the summer of 2012, UCLA REMAP teamed with Public Matters, an LA-based nonprofit dedicated to creativity and civic engagement, to run a six-week workshop for Los Angeles high school students. An initiative of REMAP and California State Parks‘ Interpretive Media Laboratory (IMLab), with support from UCLA’s Center for Embedded Network Sensing (CENS), the program guided students to research the Los Angeles State Historic Park (LASHP), IMLab’s “living laboratory” near Downtown Los Angeles, and the adjacent neighborhoods’ histories and cultures. They explored the area with mobile technologies, analyzed data, collected and edited media, and created media-rich exhibits expressing their relationships with and reactions to the area in flux.
