'''Hive Chattanooga History:'''<br /> | |||
Established in 2014, Hive Learning Community in Chattanooga supports connected learning experiences in the Chattanooga, Tennessee metropolitan region. Hive CHA fuels the creation of these learning experiences through the Gigabit Community Fund, a National Science Foundation supported initiative to fund the development of gigabit-enabled workforce development and education applications and associated curricula. | |||
'''Local Infrastructure:<br />''' | |||
Hive Chattanooga operates with a team of a full time Community Catalyst and part-time Project Coordinator. The team actively works to support Gigabit-funded pilot projects that are deploy-able in the near future and can be replicated by other communities and organizations that share goals in digital learning and making. To receive funding, projects need to have a measurable impact on constituents in these areas, and must demonstrate how emerging gigabit technologies are relevant in people’s everyday lives. | |||
'''Member Engagement:''' <br /> | |||
The Hive Chattanooga teams holds monthly Google Hangouts with all members on the first Friday of every month to learn more about the gigabit innovations developing in Chattanooga, and across the country! Each month they also hold a Hack Night where members can come together and work on a project plan to get it into action sooner and an open community coffee. On the third Thursday of the month, Hive CHA invites Chattanooga’s technologists and educators together for a caffeine-fueled discussed about integrating web literacy skills, bridging the digital divide, and connecting to Mozilla’s resources to help teach the web. | |||
'''Recipe for Success:''' <br /> | |||
A major success for the still quite new Hive Learning Community in Chattanooga is that 8 Giga-bit funded pilot projects have been launched. | |||

'''Member Success:<br />''' | |||
One of the youngest members of the Hive Chattanooga community is a dynamic high school student, Anjali Chandra who started Global Excel Tennessee to empower underprivileged youth with the resources and skillsets they need for a healthy, financially secure future for themselves, and their community. She launched Gig Bridge with the support of Hive Chattanooga and Gigabit Fund, which works with ESL youth to design interactive mobile apps to educate communities about the dangers of obesity and living a healthy lifestyle. | |||

'''Member Success:''' | |||
A great example of a Hive Toronto member success is Regent Park Focus and its Radiozilla project. Inspired by HiveNYC’s Radio Rookies, Regent Park Focus and Facing History collaborated to produce youth-led internet radio series, school curriculum guide, audiovisual slideshows using web-maker tools, and a project documentary. Over the course of six weeks, the youth-led audio documentaries allowed participants to work together to interview, edit, and tell important stories on critical topics such as identity, bystander behaviour, religion, and standing up for others. | |||
