Advance Baton Rouge is headed for SIGGRAPH this summer. And just what is a nonprofit charter entity doing attending an international conference and exhibition on computer graphics? Selling its latest venture: the Digital Media Academy. Representatives of ABR will join the Baton Rouge Area Digital Industries Consortium in New Orleans in August to pitch their plans to hundreds of digital media firms and recruit potential faculty. The Digital Media Academy is slated to open its doors in 2010 as a free admission charter school that teaches traditional subjects through the latest techniques in digital arts and technologies. The intent of the academy is to create a workforce for the digital economy, and its enrollment will be limited to 100 students per class. BP America gave the start-up funds so the academy could open its doors. To read more about the high school, click here.
