Today our Multimedia students were out at Kauffman Stadium! 🎥⚾

As they continue through their Video Production unit, students got a behind-the-scenes look at the world of sports broadcasting. From seeing where Royals games are produced and broadcast to exploring the control room, press box, and other media spaces, students were able to experience firsthand what it takes to bring a game to fans.

Thank you to the Kauffman Stadium staff for always taking great care of our students and providing an incredible experience!
