Created by the Manufacturers Resource Center (MRC) in Allentown, PA, the WSCM 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 communities’ perceptions about manufacturing careers.

The "What’s So Cool About Manufacturing?" contest is a student video competition that connects middle schoolers with local manufacturers to showcase career opportunities and highlight the innovative, high-tech world of modern manufacturing.
