For four days we were given the opportunity to spend one hour each day teaching 4th graders basic business principals. Using television broadcast as the business model as often as possible it offered us the opportunity to give these young people a better understanding for the industry, some of the careers available and the education needed.

KTTW gave a tour of the studios and business offices to a Menno Schools fifth grade class group from Menno, South Dakota,  with the idea of giving them the knowledge of what happens at a station and the various positions available and what each on does. We offer them the chance to experience time in front of the camera also.
