What Impact Does Media Have on Society? This is the essential question students will explore as a Teen Transmitters intern. During the course of this program, interns will take a deep dive into media literacy and explore how the words, sounds, and images they encounter every day make an impression on them. In addition to studying the media landscape, interns will find out what it means to be a digital storyteller. Industry professionals, museum curators, journalists, documentarians, and podcast producers will be invited to speak to the students about their career paths and act as mentors over the course of the program. As a culminating project, interns will learn to tell stories by producing an original podcast series. Above all, interns will gain skills in public speaking, interviewing, research, writing, and audio production that are crucial for college and career readiness.

Students in the DDA 11th Grade classes are currently creating Retro Soda Can designs in Photoshop as part of their product and packaging design unit. Students were introduced to Coca Cola’s new Y3000 soda that used AI to create the flavor as well as the soda can/label and packaging design. Coca Cola is on the AI bandwagon from AI created commercials to soda flavors. It’s important for our students to see how AI is being infused into the design industry and to explore where AI may take us in the future.
