PBS39 has partnered, once again, with the Manufacturing Resource Center (MRC) for the "What's So Cool About Manufacturing?" (WSCM) Student Video Contest!
This year, the Lehigh Valley version of the WSCM content celebrates its fifth anniversary with 30 teams from 22 districts in Lehigh, Northampton, and Carbon counties, as well as the Diocese of Allentown. These student teams will visit area manufacturers to capture video snapshots of what it's like to embark on an exciting career in manufacturing.
PBS39 gives teachers the in-person training needed to coach this student-led, project-based learning curriculum. Throughout the construction of these digital stories, PBS39 provides the students with three formative assessments to assist in creating the very best project possible.
