We are excited to present the final Public Service Announcements produced by the students at the Dayton Regional STEM School. These students wrote and produced these presentations as part of their participation in the Dayton Youth Radio project. All of the producers researched the project information via actual non-profit organizations that reflect some of the concerns important to them as teenagers.
Sam Shear produced his PSA about students being fiscally responsible for an organization know as Feed the Pig.
Dave Farmer chose Five Rivers MetroParks for his PSA organization. He is an avid user of the local parks and thinks that other teens should take advantage of outdoors right outside their doorstep.
STEM student Nia Respress tackles the serious issue of domestic violence with her self-produced PSA for the Love is Respect organization that provides resources, information and support for young people. She wants teens and friends to know the warning signs about being in relationships with abusive partners.
Nat Williams is a senior at the Dayton STEM Regional School. This was his first experience working with audio production. Nat chose fatherhood.gov for his organization because he feels having an influential father figure is very important for him and that everyone should have that in their life.
The Dayton Regional STEM school prepares students with the skills necessary to compete in the global economy while nurturing in our young people the same enthusiasm for discovery, invention and application that launched the vision for powered flight. WYSO and Dayton Youth Radio are excited to work with the students at the STEM School. Special thanks to STEM school Media Arts teacher Emerie Whitman-Allen.
Funding for the Dayton Youth Radio Project comes from the Virginia Kettering Foundation, the Ohio Arts Council and The Dayton Foundation.
