🎤 Record, edit, and publish a podcast episode! 🎤

Publish a podcast to enhance your student's🌟college applications🌟 

Many teens have big ideas, unique stories, and a desire to share their voice, but they don’t know how to channel that creativity into a tangible project. This course solves that problem by teaching the technical skills and creative processes needed to create a professional podcast from start to finish. 

Over 2 weeks, students will master the essentials of podcasting, including scripting, conducting interviews, recording, and using professional tools like podcast microphones and sound editing software. Each session blends engaging mini-lessons, hands-on practice, and collaboration, giving learners the confidence to bring their unique stories to life. 

By the end of the camp, they will have published their polished podcast episode on Spotify—a finished product they can proudly showcase to friends, family, or even college admissions.

This camp is designed for teens ready to build confidence, develop real-world communication skills, and transform their passions into a creative, impactful project. 

This class is an excellent opportunity for students to enhance their🌟college applications🌟 by showcasing creativity, dedication, and advanced storytelling skills. 

Completing an original podcast episode demonstrates the ability to think critically, communicate effectively, and follow through on complex projects—qualities that colleges highly value. Plus, by publicly sharing a polished piece of work on Spotify, students can include in portfolios or use it to write about in supplemental essays.
