Program Details

The 2024 Communication Fellows program features the following projects and participants:

Culwell's proposed project will focus on data visualization journals, where students will create math journals to document data related to student grades, attendance, etc., and then utilize data visualization software to transform the collected data into presentations.
• Mehmet Celik: Teaches at the Horizon Science Academy in Cleveland, Ohio, and plans to focus on video editing, poster design, and newspaper creation. Celik's proposal focuses on teaching senior students video editing, poster design, and newspaper creation skills to facilitate connections with colleges.
• Deborah Housh: A teacher at the Dayton Regional STEM School, in Kettering, Ohio, proposed a project that will utilize digital media creation. Housh's proposal will follow best practices in design communication instruction to develop a project-based learning for the course in partnership with the Dayton International Peace Museum (IPM).
• Jade McDaniel: Teaches high school students at Dayton Regional STEM School in Kettering, Ohio. The project will focus on technical reading, writing, and chemistry, using KiwiCo. Crates as models to create a lab that helps 6th graders understand measurement concepts.

DeLong's project proposal includes starting a journalism class for grades 9-12 that teaches students how to be critical thinkers, effective writers, cooperative teammates, and creative designers, with the end goal of creating an online newspaper/journal with a biweekly publication.
