Youth B.A.R.S: Space Program II (After James)

James Gardin projects his infectious, enthusiastic personality toward the students of our Youth B.A.R.S program and helps them shine like the projector at the center of our AOTA hub at Lansing Public Media Center!

A space of endless opportunities, the projector needs energy around it for anyone watching to get the picture. What you’re seeing here is the perfect space being perfected, and projected, by James and everyone else in it. |AOTA – Photo by Yo Joe Photo

Shout out to our program coordinator and instructor, James Gardin for championing and encouraging Lansing’s youth!
