This summer, PAGE girls created multimedia installations that honored the "past, present, and future" of two historic schools in Madison County - the Anderson-Rosenwald School and Laurel Elementary School. Through collaborating on teams composed of veteran PAGE girls and this year's college interns from UNC and Duke University, the installation teams incorporated digital filmmaking, photography, text, and sculpture into an immersive and interactive experience.
