The Pod Squad

Help me give my students microphones for podcasts. These will help them sound professional, build confidence, and learn real-world communication skills. With your support, our classroom can become a student-run recording studio where every voice is heard!

My Project

Support us in creating podcasts that sound polished and professional. Fourth graders have creative ideas, unique stories, and strong opinions they’re eager to share. To produce high-quality recordings, we need microphones that will help our voices sound clear and professional. This project will give all students hands-on experience with technology while building confidence, communication, and collaboration skills.

Creating podcasts allows students to take ownership of their learning in a fun, engaging way.

With your support, we can transform our classroom into a recording studio where every student’s voice is heard.
