Dons are Jammin': Bootcamping with Del Mar High School

JMC Jams

This week's episode looks back to Early October when we had the inaugural Journalism class from Del Mar High School visit for a bootcamp. Well, they thought they were having a day out, but they got a bootcamp. We put these kids to work! The Campus tour became a fact finding mission so they could write headlines and teasers later in the day, they experienced print and broadcast and immersed in all the good stuff that we do on the Journalism program. Join me as I chat to their teacher, Jessica Olamit, and three of the students - Sophia, Maya and Luna - who were super stoked about the day. We also touch on a new idea we are launching - an internship scheme where JMC students mentor the J-class at Del Mar over a semester. Is this a pipeline? At the very least it's the start of a great partnership between SJSU and one of our local High Schools.
