Listen below to hear what everyone created.

The ZONE: Audio Editing

Students at The ZONE’s Radio Club got a chance to edit some of their own audio.

Needless to say, they loved making people sound like Sloth from “The Goonies.”

Project Destiny Radio Club: Radio Kits

Today in Radio Club we built radios from a kit. Everyone worked in teams and helped each other to follow the instructions and put together a working radio! Then we had to listen to see if we could identify the stations we were hearing as well as how to improve the reception by walking around the room and changing the location of the antenna. Everyone shared at least one thing that they learned during the process.
