NPR asked teachers and students to put on their headphones and turn their ideas into sound for their first-ever NPR Student Podcast Challenge. And they sure did. NPR received 5,700 entries, from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.Podcasts that explored climate change. Podcasts about gun control and mental health. About great books and mythology. Hedgehogs and history.
Teachers and their students at 1,580 schools participated: all told, roughly 25,000 students nationwide.
Later this month, two grand prize winners will be announced, one from grades 5-8 and one from grades 9 through 12. And keep an ear out for other standout entries and honorable mentions in the coming weeks.
