 The MediaGeek project is designed to teach student volunteers how to create digital media projects and learn professional production skills in a cooperative environment. The selected students will work on a series of progressively more complex projects, while learning to use cost effective methods to produce quality end products.
-The program will have three phases of instruction. The first phase will work with our guest and volunteer instructors to refine the curriculum and improve both the technical skills and teaching skills of the instructors. The second phase will consist of recruiting and teaching 2 classes of 6 students. Each 12 week course of instruction will be offered five times to 6 new students over an eight month period. The course consists of 4 segments from a basic introduction to digital video to helping produce a 1 hour episode of a cable access show, showcasing their work. Final projects for each series of students will consist of documenting education courses that are currently happening at Free Geek.

The third and final phase transforms the energy and lessons learned from the first two phase into an ongoing mentor/apprentice program that will run indefinitely.
 The classes will be offered at no monetary cost for the students, in exchange for either helping to teach future classes or working on additional content for other projects outside of and in addition to the class projects assigned.

 Ongoing Apprenticeships:
 Students that complete the one of the two preliminary classes offered at the beginning of the program will be obligated to repay Free Geek and the Media Geek project with 100 hours of volunteer time creating content or mentoring new students brought in during Phase Three. The mentoring program is designed to maintain the program after the funding cycle of the MHCRC grant has ended. A total of 10 volunteer positions will be created (most initially filled by students from phase two of the program) as each volunteer completes their time and commitment obligations to the MediaGeek project, they will graduate and a new student/apprentice will be allowed to join the program. Apprentice students will be selected using the same process as was used to select students for Phase Two.
