What will be done with my students

The WVRB News team consists of 24 students each year, divided into six teams. They will have access to updated technology, providing a more immersive, hands-on learning experience in our library/media center. Students meet weekly to record, edit, and produce their news shows, sharing valuable information with the student body and helping them develop practical skills in communication, technology, and media production. 

 

Benefits to my students

These experiences could inspire students to pursue future careers in STEM-related fields, particularly in roles associated with news production, both behind the scenes and on camera.
