On our seventh meeting at Clairton’s CASTLE program students were asked to reflect on the “American Dream” and what it means to them. Then, 5th and 6th graders were given access to Mac Book Pros with which they attempted the Humpty Dumpty Challenge; after learning the basics of the audio editing software Adobe Audition, the students were tasked with reassembling various Disney songs that had been divided into 15 separate clips.

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!

On our 5th Radio Club meeting at Clairton’s CASTLE program, the students who didn’t get a chance to record last week got their moment in the sun, then everybody learned the basics of audio editing.

On our fourth day of Radio Club students were asked what they cared about, what they wanted to change, and what would they do if they were elected President of the United States.

On our third day of Radio Club, students were introduced to the H2 Digital Recorder and its multitude of buttons. After learning the basics of these handheld devices, they then recorded themselves on what they think makes a person a good friend. Their answers ranged from having the same interests, to your friend being a prince so you could steal all his jewels and then live a life of leisure.
