Podcasting
Morning: 8:30am – Noon
Students will step into the role of Curiosity Curators, diving into the strangest, most fascinating questions that make science unforgettable. Why do volcanoes erupt? How do bees turn nectar into honey? Students will choose their own mysterious science topic based on what sparks their curiosity.
Students will research their selected topic, learn how to ask compelling questions, and uncover surprising facts behind everyday (and not-so-everyday) phenomena. With guidance from Pennon educators and professionals in storytelling and audio production, students will transform big questions into an engaging podcast, designed to inform and intrigue a broader audience.
Visual Storytelling & Media Production
Afternoon: 1pm – 4:30pm
Students will bring science topics to life through dynamic visuals and creative media. Working alongside production experts, students will learn how to capture eye-catching footage and create visuals that make mysterious science topics come to life!
By the end of the week, students who participated in both sessions will have a multimedia science story, combining audio and visuals, that reflects their personal interests, creativity, and curiosity.
Curiosity Curators: Mysterious Science is made possible with the support from: Anne M. & Philip H. Glatfelter III Family Foundation and The Hershey Company.
