A Capstone in Aiello’s endeavors in curriculum development, Moxie Mag is a printed and digital publication produced twice a semester by a cohort of high school interns who meet in person weekly each semester.
Through individual endeavors and collaborative projects, each issue highlights topical issues important to our high school team and their respective communities. Our interns experience field trips related to zine culture and online media, hear from guest speakers for critical feedback and technical demonstrations, and work with museum staff behind the scenes.
