Clairton CASTLE: Three Things About Me
Radio Club’s second semester at Clairton’s CASTLE program has officially begun! Huzzah! To welcome our new cadre of Radio Club-ers we asked them three questions: “How do you think others would describe you?” “What do you like to do outside of class?” and “Would you rather be a werewolf or a vampire?”
Clairton CASTLE: New Years Resolutions
Radio Club is finally back from the holiday break, and to start things off we asked our students what were their New Years Resolutions. Many vowed to do better in school, while others aspired to achieve mayoral dominance; watch out Peduto, Leah is running on the three-minute-once-a-week-school-day platform.
Clairton CASTLE: SLB Studio Fieldtrip & Building A Microphone – Before/After
On our last day of Radio Club before the holidays, students visited The Saturday Light Brigade radio studio in the basement of the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum. Once there, they recorded what they’d learned about building microphones, then sang some awesome karaoke of “What Does the Fox Say.”
Clairton CASTLE: The American Dream & Editing
On our seventh meeting at Clairton’s CASTLE program students were asked to reflect on the “American Dream” and what it means to them.

Clairton CASTLE: What I’m Going to be for Halloween & More Editing
On our 6th meeting, students at Clairton’s CASTLE program wrote about Halloween and what/who they’re going to dress up as. It’s looking like the streets on October 31st will be filled with primarily Zombie Princesses. They then learned more about the power of audio editing!
