Yesterday, our talented Digital Media students had the incredible opportunity to showcase their skills at the Girl Power State event in Texarkana! Invited by SWAEC CTE Coordinator Shannon Puckett, they filmed footage for promotional videos for the competition held at Ledwell Truck Manufacturing.
This hands-on experience allowed our students to apply what they’ve been learning in class while documenting such an inspiring and dynamic event.
We’re so proud of their hard work and can’t wait to see the final videos come to life!
