Student-Run Enterprises
Wow!! A course without a true curriculum where students earn credits by fulfilling real world assignments in the form of movie creation or web page design; sounds too good to be true.
You are amazed at the student leadership and confidence exuded by each student associated with the Milwaukee High School student-run enterprises of Pulsemedia Productions and Tech Cadre. Working with instructor Jeff Linmanm in the background, these talented young people in Pulsemedia create prize winning movies and public service announcements to help their school and reach out to the diverse student population on meaningful topics related to community service, diversity and anti-drug use. Tech Cadre students design websites for the school and community for both profit and non-profit groups.
Profits earned from creating their projects are re-invested into new equipment for the program. The real world connections and development of life skills students gain in this program are unmatched. Students are very impressive producers learning skills that will catapult them into successful careers.
