WSCAM Middle School Video Contest
The What’s So Cool About Manufacturing Video Contest began in 2014 and has been growing immensely since then! While virtual in 2021 due to the global pandemic, the program typically has four regional contests in Southwestern Pennsylvania and involves over 40 schools and 40 companies. The contest supports Catalyst Connection’s effort to build a strong pipeline of talent and give young people a new perspective on the exciting career opportunities that exist in manufacturing.
To participate in the contest, students create a short 2:30 minute manufacturing video for their peers, parents, and community explaining what they think is so cool and rewarding about manufacturing! The contest culminates each year in the spring with voting and wonderful celebratory and educational award ceremonies!
