Mission: To accelerate learning and close the achievement gap by using healthy tech habits and brain-body exercises as an antidote to sedentary learning The International Children’s Media Center (ICMC) is a nimble nonprofit with a big idea for 21st century learning: transforming the way children and youth use and engage electronic screens. In just ten years, the ICMC has created an astonishing range of arts, education and social justice programs that use neuroscience-based approaches to improve the lives of children in impoverished schools and inspire individuals who have experienced trauma. The Challenges of Digital Devices Children spend 1600+ hours a year with screens, making digital devices the most influential forces in their lives. Yet thousands of studies detail screen-related dangers including ADD/ADHD, literacy loss, bullying and depression. In ICMC programs these concerns are resolved by “priming” young minds and hearts for optimal outcomes before turning on digital devices. The results are exponential gains in empathy and learning.
