Yesterday, three of our students went to the Kansas Association of Broadcasters Student Broadcast and Sports Seminar at Arrowhead Stadium! They accepted the awards that they have earned and had several great learning experiences.
At the beginning of the Seminar, they listened to a message from Jake Eisenberg, a broadcaster with the Kansas City Royals. He spoke about how it has taken skill, connections, and a little bit of luck to make it to the Majors.
Afterwards, the students went to an Activity Fair. They were able to get some hands-on practice doing things like on-air reads, using a mixing board, and a weather report on a green screen. It was intimidating at first to work with the pros, but they jumped in and learned from them. They even get to keep the things they made.
They also spoke with several colleges and universities about options after high school.
Finally, they attended sessions to learn about social media, target audiences, future careers and recommended skills. They each took something away from their sessions. One of the sessions was in the Press Box at Arrowhead Stadium, which was amazing!
Thanks, KAB for putting on such a great conference for students!
