Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Remember what it's like to burst out singing when you hear the right song at the right time or to change your opinion because of something you heard on the Radio? My students are experiencing the power of free speech in their dynamic student run radio station but need your help realize their dreams.
My students come from diverse backgrounds and economic conditions and attend our unique charter highschool of the arts and multimedia.
Our school encourages creativity, lifelong learning in the Arts, and excellence in Academic pursuits. Many of the students in the Radio Broadcasting program don't fit into various 'tracks' that characterize many school systems. The Career technical orientation provided in the Radio program prepares them for internships and jobs in the Entertainment Industry. They meet and interview celebrities and people who are key to making the industry grow. They also put on their own shows with artists at the school and with local bands whom they promote on the station.
My Project
We're asking for headphones so that students can work side by side in the studio without disturbing each other. Good headphones are a vital part of any studio and allow students to focus on their creative expression and broadcasting craft.
We're asking for an external hard drive so that we can back up student shows and build up a larger database. Data management and an efficient studio work flow are major components in every media related operation. Students are learning about all the components that make up their station and, through the ability to save and back up more data, are able to grow their station in a tangible way.
The student run radio station at our school not only transforms the lives of our students but also their families and friends.
Student create shows that relatives around the world listen to. Parents record shows with their children that bring families closer together. The station reports on school activities daily and has become a vital part of families lives. Students gain a sense of respect for themselves and the community that they serve through recognizing the power of free speech.
