• Wordsmith: Level Up Your Writing!

Ready to take your writing to the next level? This three-week course helps high school students build confidence and skill as writers, whether you’re crafting a story, a research paper, or writing for fun. You’ll explore different styles of writing, learn how to develop your own voice, generate strong ideas, and express them clearly and persuasively. Through interactive workshops, peer feedback, and targeted guidance, you’ll gain the tools to write with purpose and adapt your style for any audience. Your final project lets you apply what you’ve learned to a piece you’re passionate about: from an op-ed or personal narrative to an interview article. By the end, you’ll leave with sharper writing skills, practical strategies for success, and the confidence to tackle any writing challenge ahead.
