Two Wright State University students provided advice and tips to ninth-grade students at the Dayton Regional STEM School to assist with an upcoming magazine project.<\/p>\n
Senior Makenzie Hoeferlin and junior Jamie Naylor, both of whom are both media studies majors<\/a>, were invited to give a talk at the STEMM school because of their experience with Flight Magazine, an annual publication produced by the Wright State Guardian staff.<\/p>\n Hoeferlin, Naylor and Debbie Lamp, associate director of student activities<\/a> at Wright State, participated in a question-and-answer session with more than 100 students on Feb. 27 at the STEM school.<\/p>\n \u201cI like the fact that we were able to bring people that have done this and they know the ins and outs and the struggles,\u201d said Jackie Harris, a ninth-grade teacher at the Dayton Reginal STEM School.<\/p>\n Harris, whose students have been learning about space exploration, wanted to put their research in a periodical format. She said learning how a magazine is constructed is better coming from college students who have publishing experience.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s great for the students to be able to hear from the students that have actually done it instead from a teacher who\u2019s learning along with them,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n Harris said Naylor and Hoeferlin provided great advice and encouraged her students to think outside the box and be creative.<\/p>\n \u201cI enjoy teaching others and working with others,\u201d said Hoeferlin, who created the Flight Magazine three years ago.<\/p>\n Naylor said they were impressed at how engaged the students were, expressing excitement to see the magazine when it is completed.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m glad that we could answer their questions and give them some advice,\u201d said Naylor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two Wright State students provided advice and tips to ninth-grade students at the Dayton Regional STEM School to assist with an upcoming magazine project.
