In an interview, 12th-grade student Yahaira described how, after experimenting with the podcasting station at the ribbon-cutting launch, other students came to her to learn about the space: "A bunch of people asked me about it." The paper treats this as evidence of awareness building among students.

"A bunch of people asked me about it, like, 'What's in there or what can you do in there?' And I explained to them: they gave us new gaming systems. They gave us a new podcast system."

Interview evidence from the same student in the Awareness section: she stated the studio "opens a bigger field for us" because some students hold narrow views of what school is about. The paper interprets this as exposure broadening perceived future possibilities.

"It opens a bigger field for us because some students are very limited to what they think school is about. But it's not really like that. There's a bunch more opportunities"
