All OTHER PROGRAMS COMBINED - FORM 990 PART III LN 4D Last summer, all eyes turned to the Greater Philadelphia area as the trial of "America's Dad" got underway. Before it began, WHYY brought together prominent personalities and ordinary people from the City of Brotherly Love to examine the controversial life and career of Philly's own Bill Cosby. Cosby Unraveled, a 3-part podcast from WHYY, explored Cosby's beginnings in the projects of North Philadelphia, the heights of his influence, and the causes of his downfall. Award winning columnist and WHYY reporter Annette John-Hall spoke with former Philadelphia Mayor Wilson Goode, five time Grammy Award winner Christian McBride, scholar and author Michael Eric Dyson and a host of others to find the truth behind the stories and get to the heart of decades of hype surrounding this beloved yet controversial figure. As the trial proceeded, Cosby Unraveled brought listeners trial updates and additional coverage. WHYY continues to help increase student enagement with widely successful video and audio production classes, afterschool programs and summer programs. For the past decade, WHYY programming has taught young people to explore their environment, problem solve, tell stories and succeed in creative professions. WHYY engaged 2,977 students, teachers and community members in FY17 in hands-on media arts training through the program. Three years ago, WHYY launched a $1.7 million project to bring media labs to 27 schools in the Philadelphia area. With five launched during year one and ten added in year two, participant surveys found that the students and teachers learn video and audio production, critical thinking, STEM education skills, problem solving, research, develop a strong sense of self-efficacy and are better prepared for a wide variety of workplaces. Students are also learning valuable life skills like how to work in teams, how to plan projects, and how to solve difficult problems.
