Ampersand: The Student Journal of School & Work

by High Tech High Media Arts

Overview

Written by 11th grade students from High Tech High Media Arts, in San Diego, California, Ampersand reveals the wisdom of students who have experienced academic internships.

In the words of the students: We wrote about how each of our lives changed as we became interns. We developed relationships with professional mentors. We saw that our teachers are experienced professionals often with relevant industry experience. We learned to balance our roles as high school students, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters and now as interns. In this way, Ampersand is inspired by all of our worlds coming together—the world of home, the world of school and the world of work.
