Summer Study 2022 - Monday, July 25

Phase 2:

RadioActive Youth Media: KOUW’s RadioActive Youth Media is where young people discover public radio journalism and gain access to the skills, community and institutional resources that spur their growth as media makers. Through their stories, listeners of all ages gain a deeper understanding of young people whose voices are rarely heard by the greater public. In this workshop you will learn about how to tell a story with a beginning, middle, and end. You will talk about what makes a great story and draw Story Idea Maps to help find stories in their own lives and communities.

NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration): NOAA Science Camp offers students an opportunity to dive into marine and atmospheric science with NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Who is NOAA, you may wonder? NOAA scientists study weather, climate, oceans and coasts, and fisheries and uses many marine and aviation tools to do their research. The work that NOAA does informs important policies to protect our coasts and ocean.  This workshop will introduce students to earth and ocean sciences through virtual and hands-on activities, emphasizing solutions to real-world problems. Students will also have the opportunity to interact with NOAA scientists to learn more about their research and pathways to related marine careers.

Phase 1 and 2:

Brainpower Activate! Center for Neurotechnology: DO-IT Scholars will learn about the human brain, the field of neuroscience, and the research & activities of the UW Center for Neurotechnology. We'll discuss careers in many different fields that are needed for this highly collaborative, international Engineering Research Center. Dr. Chudler will talk about technology such as brain-computer interfaces and brain implants, and the group will talk about the ethical considerations of developing and testing such devices.
