IronWorkz is launching IW Wavez, a noncommercial radio station designed to uplift under-resourced voices, foster entrepreneurship, and strengthen the local economy. This interdisciplinary project invites students to explore trends in listener engagement, regional content needs, and inclusive language use to support station development. Student teams will also prototype internal tools that assist IronWorkz in aligning radio programming with community interests and identifying potential funding pathways. The tools will help inform decisions around content curation, scheduling, and long-term sustainability, while ensuring programming remains accessible and relevant to under-resourced audiences.
