thing I\u2019m looking forward to the most is probably just being able to hear about different stuff in the industry and learn more about the technology and everything else Fort Hays has to offer,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cToday I want to explore video production and photos as well as IT. I plan to go into the IT field and have a passion for video and photo making.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After attending their first presentations, students had new feelings about things they likely had never heard of before. Abigail Herrera and Zoey Carter from St. John High School gave their opinions on what they enjoyed from Cameron Shoemaker&#8217;s presentation on audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI really enjoyed the final thing he showed where it shows us the different pitches and how they make up everyone&#8217;s voices,\u201d Carter said.&nbsp; \u201cWe took audio from Abi and took different sections and it went from nothing but noise and became her voice. It was really, really cool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Herrera said she would be interested in learning more about audio production when she goes to college.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would be interested in studying a little bit more in audio,\u201d she Herrera said. \u201cI think it was cool to learn what speaking tone I speak in, which was really cool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoemaker, the instructor giving a presentation on audio, gave his thoughts on why it&#8217;s important for students to attend the open house in order to spark interest in new things they might\u2019ve never been interested in before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLearning is just the skill of life, which is a little deep. I think a little bit of interest in something will hopefully lead students down a whole path of discovering all the cool things there are within that certain thing,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd usually a lot of that path will branch off to other interests on the side. Eventually they will find where they really want to settle and find their creative oasis.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As students neared the end of the open house day, Ryer Ward, another student at St. John, gave his thoughts on the open house.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI really liked that I could see all the programs in the media section and get an understanding of what you guys do here,\u201d he said. \u201cI went to the announcement presentation and I really enjoyed it. It kind of made me want to go to FHSU for analytics. I only wish the presentations were shorter so I could explore more career fields.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TMN and Computer Science\/Informatics will host another Open House during the spring semester.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Story by TANNER MAWHIRTER Photos by BLAKE LUNA Tiger Media Network Hammond Hall hosted scores of visiting high school students on Monday for the annual&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142,"featured_media":101017,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3397,3398,11],"tags":[16606,16679,10940,16680,16585,16678],"class_list":["post-101015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-area-news","category-campus-news","category-news","tag-blake-luna","tag-computer-science-and-informatics-open-house","tag-open-house","tag-tanner-m","tag-tanner-mawhirter","tag-tiger-media-network-open-house"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/OpenHouse-14-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1707","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=101015"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101015\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":101038,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101015\/revisions\/101038"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/101017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=101015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=101015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=101015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
