n 1993, The AAWW began a series of one-day workshops for underrepresented Asian American New York City high school students. These student-led workshops were held at first in the classrooms of educators interested in teaching literature that spoke more directly to their Asian American students. In 1995, The Asian American Writers' Workshop moved into our current St. Marks place location allowing us to transform the workshop into an on-site program. This move has allowed us to welcome more and even younger Asian American students into the artistic community and to help nurture a new generation of Asian American writers and readers. Currently, the Arts-In-Education Division serves fifty students a year from 15 different schools. This Division has three major initiatives:
	An innovative and multi-disciplinary project designed to use technology to bring together an exploration of Asian Pacific American literary tradition for traditionally underserved Asian American High School students in the New York City area. The project will focus the students on how literature and the internet can be used for presentation, creation and dissemination of students' work. The program runs for ten weeks and average four to six hours in length. The meetings consist of three or four writing and editing exercises in which students learn how to compose creative pieces as well as revise their writings. Highlights of the ten-week program include the development of writing techniques and style as well as an introduction to Asian American literature and history. At the end of the program the students are able to create a Web page and present a reading on radio and in our space. CreateNow has its own Web site from which you can download an application and view student works from Fall '97, Spring '98, and Fall '98.
