Studio H

Emily Pilloton’s course, Studio H, is unlike any other offered at Bertie County Early College High School. The students who are enrolled get a break from staring at computer screens to work with their hands, constructing projects that benefit the local community. They’ve made chicken coops to share with families and even built a pavilion that now houses the farmers market in Windsor, NC. Pilloton joins host Frank Stasio to talk about guiding a new generation of design engineers and what her handy students are working on next.

Longtime NPR correspondent Frank Stasio was named permanent host of The State of Things in June 2006. A native of Buffalo, Frank has been in radio since the age of 19. He began his public radio career at WOI in Ames, Iowa, where he was a magazine show anchor and the station's News Director.
