This spring, schools across the country decided to shake up their classroom and enroll in Campus Tour, a free educational program that provides students the opportunity to plan, promote, and produce a real entertainment broadcast. Students not only learned entrepreneurial and business concepts but also gained essential life skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving.
The 13-week project requires students to set goals, analyze the target marketing, maintain a budget, develop product placement deals, storyboard, write scripts, create marketing strategies and so much more. But this isn't just a project, it's also a competition! Enrolled schools compete to generate the most views on their very own student-planned episode. At the end of the semester, a winner is determined based on total episode views, a technical skills rubric, and an industry professional panel rating. The winning school receives a $1,000 educational grant from Reach and Teach.
We are thrilled to announce the Spring 2021 winner of Campus Tour Season 2 is Jefferson Township High School in Oak Ridge, NJ. Their promotional efforts earned their episode over 900 views. The winner is determined using the following metrics: 40% total views, 30% technical & creativity rubric, and 30% professional panel review. Students in Ms. Melissa Kwiecinski's business class chose 4 segments in which they developed creative content: Campus Unsolved, Extra Eats, Just Don't, and School Duel.
