Book covers representing the stories in “Gold Boy, Emerald Girl” created by students at Jones High School during a workshop with YOUmedia mentor Niq Tognoni.  A talented and bright class, they had some great discussion about the book, and worked diligently to create these using the Aviary design suite.

There are many ways for teenagers to wind up at Harvard. The way it’s working for six Chicago-area kids who’ll be featured in a celebrity philanthropic event there Wednesday has to be among the most extraordinary, involving a superstar singer, a Chicago charity and hangout time spent willingly at the library.

Working out of the YOUmedia teen space at Chicago’s Harold Washington Library Center, the 16- and 17-year-olds have been helping to design a tour bus forLady Gaga, a specialized vehicle that will join the pop star’s caravan when she goes out on the road again next year.

Instead of housing band members or musical gear, this will be a ride pimped out with specific goals in mind: It’ll be a sort of rolling teen drop-in center, dreamed up by Gaga and designed by the kids to help promote Gaga’s message of creativity, tolerance and uniqueness.
