    Frequently asked questions

    What makes WITF’s summer offerings unique in the Harrisburg area?

    Our 7-12 summer offerings are developed and led by Pennon Education’s own professional educators. Students will work with experts in journalism, digital creation and production using our brand-new Digital Creator Studio. Students will elevate their voices on issues that resonate with them.

    What will students have access to in the Digital Creator Studio?

    Students do not need to have any of their own technology to participate. Students will have access to brand new production equipment to produce their very own digital creations. This includes MacBooks, iPads, podcasting and video recording equipment, a green screen, and editing software.

    Do students need to pack lunch?

    Because our 7-12 summer offerings are not designed as full days, students do not need to pack a lunch. However, students are welcome and encouraged to bring their own snack and drink.
