WUSA9 Weather Classroom

As Creative Director, one of my tasks was helping to establish WUSA9's weather school visits as an ongoing program. WUSA9's team of meteorologists, known as the "Weather Watch" team, are incredibly passionate about what they do and love to share their passion with students of any grade level. I had all the ingredients to put together the program: passionate meteorologists, interested schools, curious students, great swag to give away, and the energy and excitement of ECO9 – our hybrid news vehicle. In just one month of promoting the WUSA9 Weather Classroom visits, over 100 schools in the area reached out to request a visit by our Weather Watch team. Teaming up with WUSA9 Meteorologist Makayla Lucero, I collaborated on crafting and illustrating a booklet packed with invaluable weather insights, engaging games, and activities designed to spark meaningful discussions beyond the classroom.
