"Who Knows What?" A mystery podcast
Join other homeschooled high school students to create an original audio podcast series of mystery stories! We will work as a team to create, write, and record a stand-alone mystery story with interesting characters and dramatic plot lines. Students will also be able to voice the characters they create, as well as develop original sound effects. This is a great chance for students to explore and grow in their writing, acting, and storytelling abilities, while also boosting their creativity, confidence, and teamwork skills! We meet on Wednesdays from 12:30 to 2:00 PM at StoryArk, located in the Isaac Staples Sawmill building, 402 Main Street N, #350 in Stillwater.

StoryArk Network Live!, February 22, 9 AM to 4 PM at the Grand Banquet Hall, Stillwater
StoryArk's student groups gather to share their podcast episodes, short films, comedy sketches and short stories and enjoy each other’s company as fellow artists at the beautiful Grand Banquet Ballroom in Stillwater from 9 AM to 4 PM on Saturday, February 22. Executive Producer Lily Percy Ruiz from On Being with Krista Tippet (podcast), Sundance filmmaker E.G. Bailey (film), and Young Adult author Jacqueline West (short story) will discuss with students the fundamentals of their particular storytelling medium. Students will learn how writing for podcast, film and prose are similar and different. In addition, each student group will share their narrative and discuss with each other the themes of the story and the technical details that helped create it. The day will end with a variety show where each group will share their podcast episode, short film, filmed sketch, or short story with family and friends. All creative work will be made available on the StoryArk Network webpage, podcast, mobile app and YouTube channel.
