A Facebook message that Tai Huynh sent to fellow UNC students while a first-year—seeking others interested in working on a project to use tech to help local governments—ultimately blossomed into Durham-based startup Acta Solutions, which we named to GrepBeat's 2022 Startups To Watch list. That was one big takeaway from this week's Friday Nooner, sponsored by Triangle dev shop Big Pixeland hosted by Pete and two other people who don't even have a Wikipedia page. (OK, their names are Joe and Jackie. And yes, Pete really does have a Wikipedia page.)

The assignments students do in STS modules today are nothing like what they used to be. These days, they build portfolios with all sorts of things: short writing, long writing, posters, blogs, in-class presentations. Add to these, projects like podcasts, film clips, campaign strategies, briefing papers, debates, and full-on project proposals. Research of different kinds. They all require hard work, creativity, and rising to the challenge. We diversify our curriculum because we know the future holds work as varied as we do ourselves each day. We want our students skilled up, practiced, and ready to go. Today's episode samples from this year's student-made podcasts. You'll hear projects from our undergraduate science journalism module, run by Dr Jean-Baptiste Gouyon. The assignment is straightforward: create a three-minute news feature about a recent piece of research at UCL. The piece must be suitable for use on as a news segment for radio or podcast. Students start with a recent press release, and they go from there. The piece must include a short interview segment with a researcher. They have a tight deadline, and they have to work pretty much with the tools they have through a laptop and their phone. This is real world work and pace as a freelance journalist. For you, I've brought together eight of the ones I like a lot. They're varied, and they deliver the assignment is different ways. We'll take a quick break in the middle, but I want to leave the students to deliver their work as they presented it. Links to all the detail are in the show notes.

Our series highlighting Wolfpack Students and their research has covered, up to this point, some of our high school and university students. Today, we hear from two S. Florida middle school students, both of whom will be starting the 8th grade this coming school year but who are doing incredible research related to space and their individual passions. Arnav Joseph is the lead on two biological papers that will be presented in Athens at the COSPAR conference. His work is investigating bacteria that could be potentially useful in recycling and food supply for astronauts on The ISS or future long term missions. He also is looking into the best growing conditions for lunar colonies. Daniel Levy has a passion for artificial intelligence in its many forms and his work on the use of Micro:Bits as an early coding tool will be implemented in upcoming HAB and CubeSat missions. Whoever thought middle school students couldn't do this level of work should think again. Of course, stay tuned after for our takeaway, and for information on how your student can join the WCDT. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/shawna-christenson2/support
Today we meet with two South Florida members of the Wolfpack, both of whom are rising juniors in their respective high schools. Theodore Ouyang, a student at Suncoast High School, has been working for several years on his CubeSat proposal, the FlipSat, which seeks to address the mitigation of bit flips in space. When his proposal was not selected by NASA's CSLI for funding, teammate William Mayville, who attends American Heritage, made it his mission to solve the funding issues that preclude many capable students and teams from achieving a launch. Today we will learn how the combination of their efforts may change the way CubeSats can be used as a disruptive educational tool.

This episode is our inaugural student project edition of our podcast, featuring Chapman University student Amea Wadsworth. Her project "Under the Guise of Liberation; The Strategic Victimization of Muslim Women" explores the notions of Islamic Feminism and Western narratives of women in South West Asia and North Africa (SWANA). This is followed up with a conversation with her about her project, and how it connects with other important issues facing the world today.
Student Heather McLean had an idea after a particularly inspiring project on climate action was given by Associate Professor Clare Kelly in her Psychology of Climate Crisis elective. With the help of Head of Catering Moira O'Brien and Healthy Trinity's Martina Mullen, Heather has turned this into a full blown campus experiment. Can we greatly reduce our carbon footprint by eliminating the surcharge on plant-based milks? Listen in to see how the experiment came about and how it is going.
Due to Covid-19, one of my students at York College of Pennsylvania was unable to complete her studies abroad in Japan. As part of her alternative course of study, we agreed that she would interview four women who had experience leading nonprofits in other parts of the world. With the help of our previous podcast guests, we were able to identify four women who had experience leading nonprofits in Syria, Korea, Argentina and Germany. While each interview was unique, the outcome of these conversations has provided Rizza with valuable insight in what it’s like to be a woman in leadership in the nonprofit sector. In this particular conversation, Rizza interviewed Jin Oh who is currently studying law in Los Angeles. Jin shared with us about her journey of forming a nonprofit organization in Korea as well as expansion efforts in China and Japan. Jin is a long-time friend of Cherian Koshy, a regular guest here on the podcast and a leader in the fundraising space. As I mentioned during the intro, we would like to invite all our listeners to discover how the four frameworks can help your organization create an environment where fundraising can thrive.

Because of the pandemic, one of my students at York College of Pennsylvania was unable to complete her summer studies abroad in Japan. As part of her alternative course of study, we agreed that she would interview four women who had experience leading nonprofit organizations in other parts of the world. With the help of several previous podcast guests, we were able to identify four volunteers who had experience leading nonprofit organizations in Syria, Korea, Argentina and Germany. While each of the four interviews was unique and revealed a different story, the outcome of these conversations has provided Rizza with valuable insight in what it’s like to be a woman in leadership in today's nonprofit sector. In this particular interview, Rizza interviewed Miriam Wagner Long whom I had the pleasure of attending graduate school with more than a decade ago. Miriam is Partner and CEO for a fundraising consultancy in Germany and is also a board member of Deutscher Fundraising Verband. Miriam was very generous with her observations about fundraising, her experiences in the field, and some of the challenges she has encountered when assisting clients seeking to increase their fundraising capacity. As I mentioned during the introduction, we would like to invite all our listeners to discover how the four frameworks can help your organization create an environment where fundraising can thrive. Based on insights drawn from behavioral economics, complexity science, and cognitive psychology, these four planning models offer a more holistic and human-centered perspective of fundraising rather than the reductionist and mechanical approach that originated from public relations and marketing.

This is a special episode produced by our students for their project looking at Nigerian musicians: In our episode, we are focusing on the top five Nigerian artists that have an influence in American mainstream media. We are giving you a breakdown of these artists, their beginnings, and of course, a listen to one of their most popular songs. Each artist has their own distinctive style and sound, and some even do much more than just sing/rap. You should definitely have heard one of these artists on the radio, or even while you’re out partying, but if not, be sure to listen and get to know a bit about each of them. Stay tuned all the way to the end to hear which American hip-hop artists we think they should collaborate with.

Gayle has recently completed a PhD at The Glasgow School of Art in which she responded as a researcher and a designer to difficulties young people who were leaving care and their workers experience when working together. For this work she was acknowledged with the first ever ‘service design award’ for best student project. Gayle is a graphic designer by background, she got into Service design because of her interest in the impact she was creating with her graphic design work. She realised she had to better engage with people that would be using her designs to better understand their needs. That’s how she got into research but soon she realised she could not really use this in the commercial environments she was working in at that moment. Therefor she made the shift towards Service Design.

From 2007 through 2012, American peace activists Gabe Huck and Theresa Kubasak ran an innovative project in Damascus, Syria, to provide mentoring to some of the many young Iraqis who had then found refuge in Syria from the terrible conflicts then raging inside US-occupied Iraq... to prepare them to win entry to-- and succeed at-- four-year colleges around the U.S. In May 2016, many of the 60-plus graduates of this mentoring program gathered in Chicago for a reunion. Helena Cobban, the President of Just World Educational, was lucky enough to invited along. This is the first of two interviews she conducted there with graduates of the program.Support the show (http://justworldeducational.org/donate/)

Tory Sherlock is currently in the last year of her undergraduate studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston, graduating with Honors and a BA in Psychology. She is trying to continue on to graduate school for music therapy. For her senior thesis this year, she is researching the efficacy of art therapies in a variety of contexts including healing and rehabilitation. This study will focus on the perspective of the therapist and giver of treatment, not just client/patient outcome. Part of her research will include carrying out interviews with prospective therapists who are willing to answer some questions about their stance on their work, what brought them to the field, along with some other similar topics. Since I get requests for interviews or information from students frequently, I thought I'd record this one so that other students looking for similar information might be able to use it for their projects, too.

When William Jeffries had to think of a project to work on as a bootcamp student, he decided to build an app that could detect and report temperatures in apartments when they dropped below a certain degree. His mission was to help people find heat in the winter, and he called it Heat Seek. In a few months, his student project grew past the classroom walls, getting the attention of city officals, entrepreneurs, and citizens excited to help. William tells us how the technology works, how he built the app as he was learning to code himself, and about the mindset that helped him get through the doubts many newbies face.
