Created by the Manufacturers Resource Center (MRC) in Allentown, PA in 2013, the Whatâs So Cool About ManufacturingÂŽ contestâs objective is to change studentsâ perceptions about manufacturing careers. The teams of students and teacher coaches receive professional guidance as they learn to script, record, and edit their video stories. Judges in each regional contest bestow a variety of awards, and each contest features an online vote at WhatsSoCool.org for its Viewers Choice Award.
The Whatâs So Cool About ManufacturingÂŽ contests are supported regionally by their sponsors and partners. Production support is provided for several of the contests by eMediaWorks in Center Valley, PA, and additional statewide support is provided by Sahl Communications and EmpowerStar Enterprises.
