The New York Historical offers a robust suite of digital humanities programs for high school students year-round in the Tech Commons. These Tech Scholars programs center the student-led creation of digital projects, including podcasts, websites, and digital games through researching artists, historical figures, and events that continue to impact and inspire young people today.
Teens explore how women across the spectrum of race, class, and sexuality exercised power and effected change. They become digital changemakers and create their own websites to share powerful stories about women in history.
Teens create their own digital game based on history! They conduct research, conceptualize and create their own 2D game inspired by the collections at The New York Historical.
Teens collaborate with other teens to create a season of The New York Historical teen podcast. They hone skills in history, art, and technology as they research a topic; interview an expert; and write, record, and edit their own podcast episode!
