On June 12, Illinois Newsroom had a full house for the first News & Brews community gathering. Coordinated by Senior Engage- ment Strategist Kristin Walters and held at Riggs Brewery in Urbana, the event featured a discussion on trauma, its effects on children, and how to help children cope. Niala Boodhoo, host of The 21st, led a panel that featured Regina Crider, director of the Youth Family Peer Support Alliance and pastor at Crossroad of Life Community Church; Elizabeth DeGruy, director of special education for Champaign Unit 4 Schools; Karen Simms, founder of Meridian K Consulting; and Lee Gaines, Illinois Newsroom educa- tion reporter. The discussion centered around the long-term effects of trauma on children and the impact of that trauma in the classroom. An audi- ence of parents, teachers, activ- ists, and children furthered the conversation about how schools in Illinois help children cope. Scott Cameron, Illinois News- room’s executive editor, said the discussion of trauma among children and what educators are doing to help families and kids was informative, pow- erful, and empowering. “It was inspiring to see so many com- munity members come together to address this important topic. As journalists, we always hope our work contributes to further discussion and a search for solutions.” Stay tuned to the WILL Radio TV Online Facebook page for more information on future News & Brews events.

WILL Education’s Design Squad visited the Rantoul Multicultural Community Center on June 18. 16 kids participated in the 6-week program entitled “STEAM All Around Us.” The kids learned about recycling and conservation through the nationwide Design Squad curriculum, and creatured animals creatures from recycled packaging. Design Squad is a series of guides and les- son plans to help children solve real-world problems and understand the impact of engineering. A part of PBS Kids, the pro- gram has weekly updates for challenges, videos, and activities to encourage STEAM principles in kids’ everyday lives.
