Manufacturing Misperceptions

Frederick V. Pankow Center

MFG Day was created to change high school students’ perceptions of manufacturing as a profession. Students from Frederick V. Pankow Center in Detroit followed the president of Eclipse Mold as he brought teens in to tour his plant and debunk misconceptions about manufacturing as a career.

Produced by Noah Hudson-Peralta, Nathaniel Zaccagnini, Sean Barry, and Sara Maola at Frederick V. Pankow Center in Clinton, Michigan. Instruction provided by SRL Connected Educator Michael Kaufman.
