Hi <<First Name>> 👋

In this issue we learn journalism, graphic design, artificial intelligence, technical writing, STEAM activities, and more. We also feast our eyes on a mushroom color atlas and listen to the soothing sounds of forests around the world.

Let's dive in!

📹 How to be a Journalist in a Social Media and Digital Age

The news industry has changed so much in the digital age, particularly with the growth of social media.

In this course you'll discover the secrets of good journalism, what it is, and what goes into making it before trying out some of the techniques used to produce it.

You’ll also develop skills in interviewing people, learn to write a simple news story or social media post, and create features, reviews, and opinion columns.

 🍭 50 Free Lessons in Graphic Design Theory

We often see only the result of a design process and not much of the behind-the-scenes work. We often wonder about the 'why' and 'how' of the process. These 50 excellent graphic design theory lessons will help you understand the process a bit better.

🤖 Elements of AI

The Elements of AI is a series of free online courses created by MinnaLearn and the University of Helsinki. This course is suitable for a broad group of people who want to learn what AI is, what can (and can’t) be done with AI, and how to start creating AI methods. The courses combine theory with practical exercises and can be completed at your own pace.
⌨️Technical Writing Fundamentals

Technical writing is becoming a very sought after skill. If you enjoy playing with tech and want to write tutorials, how-tos, and other technical documentation, learning the basics of technical writing will help you go a long way.

This free course by GitLab is a good place to start learning.

🎨 Mushroom color atlas
The Mushroom Color Atlas is a brilliant project for anyone interested in mushrooms and colors. The Mushroom Color Atlas is a resource and reference for everyone curious about mushrooms and the beautiful and subtle colors derived from dyeing with mushrooms. But it is also the start of a journey and a point of departure, introducing you to the kaleidoscopic fungi kingdom and our connection to it.
🦅 Learning Activities by Indigenous STEAM
