Hey Viewers! This is Juan, Selina, and Jose and we have just made a movie for Tech 4 America. Tech 4 America is a program offered to college graduates with skills in media programs (i.e. Photoshop, Audacity, Flash, Final Cut Express, etc.) interested in reaching out to inner city youth and teaching them these skills in programs.
