💻☀️ It's day 3️⃣ of WYES Digital Media Summer Camp.
Led by local educator and broadcasting veteran Mary Jackson the campers are off to a great start. The week kicked off with tours of WYES' facilities and the students were able to sit down with WYES producer Peggy Scott Laborde, WYES media & technology Coordinator Calvin Barrett, WYES director of production and event services Tam Kady and WWLTV's Brandon Walker.
Over the two weeks of camp students will gain hands-on experience in broadcasting and digital media while producing “Did You KnowLa?” local history segments for publication on WYES’ YouTube channel.
We are excited to welcome students from Frederick A. Douglass High School, Ben Franklin High School, Hahnville High School, New Harmony High, New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA), Northshore High School, Riverdale High School and St. Augustine High School.
