The Daily’s 2025 Summer High School Multimedia Exhibition

The Stanford Daily proudly presents works from its fifth annual multimedia workshop for high school students. Sixteen students living across the globe, from California to Vietnam, explored media production over eight productive weeks this summer.

Through a series of workshops and guest lectures, students considered sourcing, studied production and examined storytelling, discussing these topics with multimedia experts and Stanford professors.

During the program, each student pitched, produced and published their own multimedia project that spotlights a topic of their choice. Projects were created with graphics, photography, podcasts, videos or a mix of any two media forms. In a showcase for peers and Daily staff, students shared and answered questions about their work, which are listed below in no particular order.
