Abstract

We share two longitudinal case studies of thirteen-year-old students who were part of a design intervention focusing on media production and technological fluency, tracking how project production and presentation developed students’ sense of themselves and their reputation within the community. Practices supporting positive academic and creative identity development are highlighted.
