My Project

Sports entertainment is one of the biggest industries on the planet, reaching revenue of around $500 BILLION dollars because there are so many facets to making it happen. Beyond the athletes, there are the facility workers, managers, office personnel, but then there are the the people who bring the action to the television audience. Sports broadcasting is a field that will always be in demand. From camera operators to lighting technicians there are thousands of different jobs available in the industry. One of the lost arts in broadcasting is the sportscaster.

Helping students find their voice while integrating tech is how we grow the next generation of sports broadcasters.

Equipment like a sound mixer, microphones, and headsets integrate technology and pair it with traditional journalism to synthesize skills for student learning.

Grades 9-12
