Introduction to Science Communication at ANC

This July, ANC is launching a new week-long course focused on science storytelling with an emphasis in journalistic writing, photography, and documentary filmmaking.

The NSF funded pilot course - Introduction to Science Communication will take place July 20–24 at ANC and is open to students attending Tribal colleges across the state. During the course, students will learn how to tell compelling STEM stories through writing, visual storytelling and video production while working on real-world projects connected to research happening at ANC.

Students will learn:

• Science journalism and storytelling

• Interviewing and story development

• Documentary filmmaking and video editing

• Photojournalism and visual storytelling

• Journalism ethics

• How to communicate science to public audiences

Participants will create their own stories, short documentaries, and photo essays throughout the week.

This pilot course is limited to 12 participants and includes:

• Daily stipend

• Travel support for students coming to ANC

• A MacBook for each participant to keep

We’re excited to bring together students interested in storytelling, media, research, and science and from working journalists and storytellers.
