Hurricane Fred!

Fall 2021 Wonder Challenge: Hurricane Fred!
This video was created for the Wonder Challenge for the Fall 2021 Environmental Science, Politics, and Policy course taught by Dr. Kwame Owusu-Daaku at the University of West Florida. We partnered with Elizabeth Eubanks and 6th grade students from Dixon School of Arts and Sciences. We created a video answering the question posed by the 6th graders “I wonder…what is a hurricane (and how do people film a hurricane while it's happening?”
Our video captures the story of a boy named Adrian and his journey to understand what hurricanes are and how they are filmed as Hurricane Fred moves towards Pensacola. Thanks to the help of his neighbor, Mr. Weatherby, a meteorologist, Adrian is able to find the answers to his questions and feel less fearful about the incoming weather. In the end, Adrian is inspired by the newfound knowledge and is led towards a path of interest in becoming a weatherman so he too can help others learn about hurricanes.
