We're pleased to introduce the 2024 cohort of Scripps Communication Fellows!
- Bryce Culwellteaches at the Christian Life Academy in Jackson, Ohio. Culwell’s proposed project will focus on data visualization journals. From Culwell’s Communication Fellows application: “creating math journals to document data related to student grades, attendance, etc. Then utilizing data visualization software, students will transform the collected data into presentations.”
- Mehmet Celikteaches at the Horizon Science Academy in Cleveland, Ohio and plans to focus on video editing, poster design, and newspaper creation. Celik’s proposal focuses on “senior students teaching them video editing, poster design, and newspaper creation skills to facilitate connections with colleges. Materials needed are a laptop with video editing software and graphic design software for post creation.”
- Deborah Housh, a teacher at the Dayton Regional STEM School, in Kettering, Ohio, proposed a project that will utilize digital media creation. Housh’s proposal will follow “best practices in design communication instruction to develop a project-based learning for the course in partnership with Dayton International Peace Museum (IPM). How can we propel the mission of the IPM and support our community through creation with motion graphics and design technologies.”
- Jade McDanielteaches high school students at Dayton Regional STEM School in Kettering, Ohio. The project will focus on technical reading, writing, and chemistry. “Using KiwiCo. Crates, a type of STEAM-based project kit, as models, high school students will create a lab that helps 6th graders understand measurement concepts. Junior students will design instruction booklets utilizing different software programs and learn how to conduct usability tests to build their own ‘lab crates’.”
- Katlyn DeLongteaches at Chaminade Julienne Catholic High School in Dayton, Ohio. DeLong’s project proposal includes starting “a journalism class for grades 9-12 that teaches students how to be critical thinkers, effective writers, cooperative teammates, and creative designers. The end goal is to create an online newspaper/journal with a biweekly publication, instead of the current monthly publication.”
