Getting Into Good Trouble | Innovation Diploma
The most significant aspect of our learning is what we do with it. Speaking intelligently with real people about global conflicts and issues that affect them has substantial educational value for students. This production consists of authentic student work - mistakes and all.
Innovation Diploma is an innovative educational program of The Mount Vernon Upper School in Atlanta, Georgia. Students learn through self-directed investigation and analysis while solving real problems. Students engage and serve their community while working with Fortune 500 companies, start-ups, and non-profit partners.

Covid19 | How Students are adjusting to Distance Learning
Be sure to listen to our Companion Episode: HOW TEACHERS ARE ADJUSTING to distance learning.
We, the freshmen podcasters of the Innovation Diploma program, planned, wrote, recorded, and edited, this podcast episode about distance learning from our homes while sheltering in place during the Covid19, or Coronavirus outbreak. We worked from home exclusively using recorded Zoom meetings to communicate. We asked, "What has the class of 2020 sacrificed to beat Covid19? Students tell us how they have adapted to distance learning, but, high school seniors explain what the pain has been like having their final year of high school cut short. While making this episode, something awful happened this week that changed everything about this story for us as we lost one of our own to Covid19.
The music is written and performed by freshman, Sam Hodges.
