At the start of the current school year, a new program came to CMA’s building.
Mr. Weems (or Mr. D as the students call him) has brought C2Pipeline, a program run by Wayne State University where students get to know the process of podcasting, get hands-on experience in how to write scripts, work on sound, direct, record, and build team working skills.
When Mr. D was asked why he brought such a program to CMA, he said: “I feel like if my program was anywhere, it should be in a school where their primary focus was communication and media arts. I feel like CMA should be the mecca of communication and media arts in high schools.”
C2Pipeline has proven itself to stand up to its goals, according to CMA freshman SanJay LeGrand.
”C2Pipeling has taught me how to work hard and well with others through teamwork,” LeGrand said.
LeGrand is not the only student who has benefited from C2Pipeline.
CMA senior Janiya Bailey said: ”C2Pipeline has taught me how to work together with people. I could work together with people before, just not as good but C2 helps you with that and provides you with so many opportunities that CMA has never had.”
C2Pipeline has allowed many of the participants to expand their creativity, allowing them to create their own scripts and shoot their own interviews and think of the appropriate questions to ask the interviewee.
