Student Projects Students will be required to produce smaller projects that may also air on TV. The goal of these projects will be to provide instruction on individual elements of production; however, they will also provide the student an opportunity to provide a public service, share their talents with friends, or to give voice to their more creative side. Based on merit, such pieces will also be eligible for the various competitions to which we will be sending our work, and students will receive a grade for their work.
