Media Arts Project
Funded Dec 15, 2022In our after school program, we've introduced students to podcasting using media technology such as USB microphones, audio editing software (like Audacity or GarageBand), and digital publishing platforms. This technology has empowered students to plan, record, edit, and share their own podcasts, giving them hands-on experience with digital storytelling.
Through podcasting, students are developing skills in writing, speaking, collaboration, and critical thinking. They're learning how to structure interviews, build compelling narratives, and use editing tools to enhance their audio projects.
The most exciting part for students has been finding their voices—literally and creatively. Whether it's sharing personal stories, exploring local issues, or interviewing guests, they've loved having a platform to express themselves and be heard by a real audience.”

Funded Jan 17, 2025Dear Warner Brothers Discovery Team,
On behalf of our students and staff, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous funding of our media afterschool program. Thanks to your support, our students now have access to state-of-the-art equipment that is opening doors to exciting new opportunities in media creation.
The students have already begun using the equipment, and I am thrilled to share that they've successfully recorded their very first podcast! This accomplishment is a testament to their dedication and passion for learning. You can check out their podcast on our YouTube channel , where they've been exploring topics they are excited about and enjoy discussing. The experience has provided them with a unique, hands-on way to engage with media production, including recording, editing, and podcasting.
Our students are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with professional-grade equipment. It has been an invaluable learning experience that is not only helping them hone new technical skills but also giving them a platform to share their voices and ideas. Your contribution is making a significant difference in their lives and their future endeavors in media and beyond.
Thank you again for your commitment to empowering young voices and fostering creativity. We look forward to continuing to grow and learn with the support of Warner Brothers Discovery.”
