Conrad Fox Email & Phone Number

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

I create hands-on science curriculum for an innovative children's STEAM academy. I'm essentially a cardboard engineer, dreaming up machinery, structures, experiments and devices, then producing animated explainers, step-by-step videos and hand-drawn how-tos for children to follow along and build their own. My projects incorporate fun, important learning skills and surprisingly complex science.

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

I produce explainer videos, podcasts, elearning content, interactive charts and maps, online journalism and other media. Current projects include an online course in Coastal Resilience for Haitian journalists, and Spanish language hands-on science projects for kids in Latin America. Past clients include Mongabay, Periodistas de a Pie and Round Earth Media.

Mexico

I have worked as a freelance journalist, mostly in radio, mostly focused on Latin America, for almost two decades. I was part of a team that won a Peabody Award for reporting on gang violence in Honduras. My eyewitness account of a migrant falling from a train won a New York Festivals Award. My work has taken me across a minefield, through a gun battle, and into the homes of many generous and interesting people in Mexico, Haiti, Central America and elsewhere. I cover climate science, migration, education equality and other issues affecting the Global South

Mexico

I led four international reporting projects in Mexico, Central America and Haiti, on environmental, migration and poverty related issues. I recruited local reporters in each region, mentored them, generated story ideas through research and interviews, identified sources, and edited pieces to international standards. I developed teaching material for new radio reporters and taught several of the print journalists to produce radio pieces, which were then incorporated into radio series in Spanish and Haitian Creole. One of the pieces I was closely involved with won a Peabody Award. I also created the websites for each project and a user-friendly database to track them.
