Give your students a voice. The SandBox Middle School Podcast Network helps kids build confidence, sharpen communication skills, and learn to express themselves in their own words—all while having fun. Our 20-unit, flexible curriculum is COPPA- and FERPA-compliant, AI-resistant, and designed so teachers can directly assess student understanding. Students create podcasts with SandBox resources, then teachers share them in a safe, secure environment with other member schools. Founded in 2024 by veteran teacher Henry Heidtmann and podcast executive Rich Boerner, DumpTruck Media offers every school or afterschool program a free 45-day trial of The SandBox Network. That includes full access to the curriculum, music library, and sound effects catalog—everything needed to make podcasting exciting for both students and teachers. In a world where soft skills are essential, middle school is the perfect time to teach students how to communicate with confidence. Best of all, The SandBox requires no costly hardware—just creativity, collaboration, and the chance to be heard.
