The Stanford Daily, reaching out to let you and your students know that this fall, we are launching three brand-new, all-remote programs for high school students: our 8-week Tech Bootcamp, 4-week Multimedia Workshop, and our Free Fridays mini workshop series!

More information on these programs, including application links and deadlines, is included below — can you please share these opportunities with as many students and parents in your network as possible?

Your outreach for our summer program, which we previously emailed you about, helped us double our student enrollment for this past summer, giving twice as many students the opportunity to learn and be enriched by The Daily’s program. It would be great if you can help us get the word out about these new fall programs so even more students are able to join us. (Important Note: Extensive need-based scholarships are available for all paid programs.)

Thanks so much! Feel free to email me directly with any questions.

Best,

Claire

FREE FRIDAYS

Starting this September, The Stanford Daily is offering a series of FREE mini workshops (1-2 hrs long) open to the public, led by our top editors and section leaders! Learn how to craft a great news lede, make graphics, draft a compelling opinion, and more! Our mini workshops are beginner-friendly, and no experience is required! Whether you’re a high school student with no prior journalism experience or an experienced writer who’s interested in picking up some new skills, our workshops are open to individuals of any skill level and background.

All you need is access to a computer with Internet connection — any software or tools we will demonstrate are free and open-source.

Our fall schedule of Free Fridays will go live the first week of September. Stay tuned!
