Becoming a TAD Studio Fellow

Students hacking toys at Patrick McCarthy's workshop at Columbia College

We are proud to announce that Roth Mobot's Patrick McCarthy has been selected for a fellowship at Columbia College's Teaching Artist Development Studio. The TAD Studio initiative addresses an essential need in Chicago for systematic professional development of artists teaching in Chicago Public Schools.

Patrick will be getting his head cooked over the course of a few months on the techniques and goals of teacher partnerships and how to polish his already unique curriculum design.

"I'm surrounded by brilliant visual artists, poets, dancers, musicians, sculptors, photographers, teachers, and journalists -- I'm proud to be the only 'hacker' in the group!"
