Last month, high school television production students from McFatter Technical High School earned real-life experience by providing video services at WordCamp Miami. TV production is one of the multiple technical programs offered in both the high school and adult programs at McFatter Technical College and High School. Volunteering at WCMIA gave TV production program students editing and live production skills as they prepare for careers right after graduation.

Here’s what the students who filmed WCMIA had to say about the experience:

Mauricio Gomez – “It was a really fun event.”

Amanda “Alex” Gimenez – “It was a fun and immersive experience!”

Anais Ambrose – “I love the Wapuu’s!” 

Kyle Williams – “I really like the presentation about website animation.” 

We were glad to have their support. Now that WCMIA is over, these students are preparing for a national competition and are currently fundraising to support the trip to the SkillsUSA competition.
