Girls-Eye View (GEV) is a program for NYC middle school girls, developed as a response to research stating that adolescent girls begin to pull back from technology and allow boys to play the dominant roll in group activities and in the middle school classroom. The participating students work with a female teaching artist to develop individual and group projects investigating female issues and media messages regarding women and girls. Project content is developed via in-depth discussions regarding feminist art and history, trips to local art institutions and shows, female guest speakers who can speak to the career possibilities for women with the skills taught in the GEV program, and weekly critiques. Final projects are presented during the last day of the program in a professional critique setting to a council of local female artists working in the same vein as the projects produced.

NYC public school students between the ages of 13–18 are invited to spend their Thursday afternoons, from 3–6PM, at Eyebeam. Each month will feature a series of free hands-on workshops, starting at 4PM, where students will have the opportunity to work with different open-source software programs as used by artists and technologists.

Thursdays in March: Make your own Wordpress website with Eyebeam Intern, Georg Pedersen. Graphic artist and designer Georg Pedersen will introduce the versatile and free blogging platform, Wordpress to students. Students will learn what makes a good website in terms of content, visual layout, and functionality, and then get to create their own webiste over the course of the month.
