Re:Imagine Pathway Project
The Re:Imagine Pathways Project will pilot a model for embedding a large-scale, youth-driven event into a HIVE learning pathway structure to understand ways to leverage youth interest to propel them to other learning opportunities around the city.

The Re:Imagine Pathways Project will both develop and pilot a model for building a pathway structure into/around a one-time, large-scale, youth-driven event. We will do this in 2 ways: through data mining and application design and through a piloted partnership between the Art Institute of Chicago and Yollocalli Arts Reach during Re:Imagine 2016. These connected components allow us to investigate the effectiveness of pathways for teens who are and are not offered spots to participate in Re:Imagine 2016, and to understand how pathway take-up changes based on variables such as online vs. in-person communication, the presence of trusted adults to broker opportunities, program structure, teen motivation, and location. Ultimately, the Re:Imagine Pathways Project will allow us to leverage the large interest in the Re:Imagine competition to better understand what compels teens to apply, what particular interests applicants bring to the competition, and how we (as a network) can help shape that creativity and direct it to other connected programs and opportunities around the city.
