Whats So Cool About Manufacturing

Created by the Manufacturers Resource Center (MRC) in Allentown, PA in 2013, the What’s So Cool About Manufacturing? contests draw entries from teams across Pennsylvania. The teams of students and teacher coaches receive camera equipment, software, and professional guidance as they learn to script, record, and edit their video stories. The contest’s objective is to change students’ perceptions about manufacturing careers.

OLM was assigned to AWE Tuning in Horsham.  Our student team of Matthew Braccia, Cecelia Carrasco, Kate Donovan, Kameron Harry, JT Hughes, Scott Hughes, Owen McDonnell and Kaelin Penna visited AWE in early December.  The students interviewed employees and recorded footage of the interviews and facility.  They met with Todd Sager, president of AWE Tuning and took a ride in Jesse Kramer’s, Vice President of Marketing at AWE Tuning, Camaro to experience first hand the end product manufactured at AWE.  Since then they have been working tirelessly on their commercial submitting drafts and receiving feedback from Matthew Lewis, MS Educational Media Producer and eMediaWorks. The students were also required to create an outreach plan to market their commercial and promote it to prospective voters. Feedback on the outreach plan was received from Sahl Communications, Inc.
