Broadcast students win statewide video award

Students in the Broadcast and Video Production program at Francis Tuttle Technology Center won a statewide contest to promote workbased learning.

The students submitted a video for the Fall 2023 Work-Based Learning Video Contest organized by the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education (ODCTE). They won first place for demonstrating how attending Thunder Media Day gave them a firsthand look at the professional world.

The award includes additional funding for the BVP program at Francis Tuttle.

“We know that your video was a team effort with many contributors, and we would like to ask you to for- ward our appreciation to all who participated,” said H.L. Baird, Statewide Work Based Learning Liaison for ODCTE, in a letter to the winning students.

BVP students attended Thunder Media Day last September. They interacted with professional videographers, content creators and Thunder players who were creating promotional content for the upcoming NBA season.

Students get a hands-on, real-world experience that supports their classroom learning. It also gives them a chance to network with professionals and improve potential job prospects.
