Abstract

Disney knows a thing or two about making movies. So when Derby (KS) Public Library received the Disney sponsored Curiosity Creates grant, we chose to bring the Hollywood filmmaking experience to life with the Tween Moviecraft Creating Creators project. The project brought together thirty tweens ranging in age from 8 to 14, with a median age range of 9 to 10.
