Earlier last December, The Stanford Daily welcomed a cohort of high school students across the globe — from Menlo Park to Nicaragua to Addis Ababa — to participate in its semi-annual workshops. An opportunity to engage with reporting, multimedia and technology, the workshops immerse students in The Daily’s newsroom.
Workshop students delve into various fields and create a final product based on personal interests. Below are highlights from our winter workshops, including photo albums, websites, podcasts, video essays and data visualizations.
Hiryakos Kassahun, Arely Camarena Sanchez and Narayani Shankar created websites featured in the images below.
