The Content Creation Lab is back for Season 2! This free youth media program gives Champaign-Urbana-area high school students the opportunity to create original work inside Illinois Public Media’s professional studios.
Across four Saturday sessions, students will build hands-on skills in podcasting, audio production, video production, local reporting, and digital storytelling. Through guided workshops, creative challenges, and collaborative projects, participants will have opportunities to develop, record, edit, and share their own stories using professional media equipment.
No previous production experience is required. Students are encouraged to attend all four sessions so they can build their skills throughout the season, but may register according to their availability.
Advance registration is required, and space is limited to 15 students.
