Student Podcasts

The student podcast program at the Smithsonian American Art Museum has been in existence since 2006. Students from the Holton Arms School in Bethesda, MD have been contributing podcasts to the museum since the very beginning. In 2008, Williamsburg Middle School in Arlington, VA began contributing and below are listed many of the student efforts. These student podcasts were made by high school and middle school students as part of a creative writing assignment. The podcasts were researched and written by the students and reflect their own interpretations of the subject.
