This special trip included unique "behind the scenes" lab tours, providing students with an invaluable glimpse into the world of media.

They also toured the cutting edge Esports arena, active competitive members of Esports Ohio (like Horizon Science Academy).
Schoonover Center - WOUB Studio The group had the exciting chance to meet with Editor-in-Chief Atish Baidya, who shared insights into the broadcasting process and offered advice on pursuing careers in journalism. They also visited the tv and radio studios, production master control areas and met one the Broadcast Engineers on staff, Mr. Terry Pack, who helped mentor Mr. Harmison during his own learning experiences at Ohio University and WOUB some 30 years earlier.
