The Explore Student Video Contest for 7th & 8th-grade middle school students has been a favorite since its introduction in West Virginia. 

Video Contest Facts: 

  • Teams of 8-15 students participate in this program which happens over six months. 
  • Teams are partnered with a local manufacturer to create a 3-minute video designed to provide a cool snapshot of the manufacturing process and the employees who make it happen. 
  • Student ideas take shape as they work as directors, actors, and videographers in creating their team video. 
  • Find out which team earns the most votes in the Viewers’ Choice Awards. 
  • Prizes awarded for Best Manufacturing Message and Most Outstanding Creativity 
  • Regional award ceremonies bring together teams, their families, and manufacturers to celebrate everyone's success.
