Presented by Manufacturers Resource Center (MRC), the Student Video Contest: “What’s So Cool About Manufacturing?” (WSCM) gave students in Berks and Schuylkill Counties the opportunity to network with local manufacturers as well as gain new perspectives, record their experiences and present them in an educational and “cool” way through documentary video production. The program was created to generate excitement that draws students towards considering manufacturing career paths to create a 21st century workforce.
Twelve Teams/School Districts from Schuylkill County participated in the contest.
Public voting for the contest was held online from February 27th, 2019 through March 1st, 2019.
On Wednesday evening, the awards ceremony was held at the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel in Reading.
