Company: Houston Secondary School Administrator: Lyndsey Williams Date: January 2021 - June 2021 Achievements: - Understanding how to use technology - Engaging with the public - Creativity including both sets designing, ideas, and editing - Using social media to share and promote The Sty Guys Youtube Channel Due to COVID-19, my high school was unable to host assemblies. Due to this, I decided to create a news channel to provide the same service the assemblies did. However, it was be done through videos posted to Youtube. A group of 3 friends and I were all a part of the show. I would post videos weekly. These videos would report events and information the upcoming week and 2 or 3 other segments that consisted of small challenges and other events that would engage with the school community. The Youtube channel was called the "The Sty Guys" and produced close to 30 episodes. Not only would we post weekly news videos, but we also created the announcement videos for Wolverine of the Month. We would also do interviews with teachers. I was in charge of providing the equipment, coming up with the idea, promoting it on Instagram and Tik Tok, and editing. In the end, we were able to create this persona. The group had a reputation, and everybody was excited to see the next episode. By far one of my most creative projects!
