BIS 5th Graders Explore Local Media Careers

May 13, 2025

Batesville Intermediate School 5th graders dove into the dynamic world of media, communications, and design through a unique two-part experience designed to connect classroom learning with real-world careers.

In the morning, students rotated through a Living Library, where professionals acted as “living books” to share personal career journeys and answer student questions. The event focused on media-related pathways, encouraging students to explore careers in journalism, graphic design, podcasting, video production, radio, and social media management.

In the afternoon, students took part in an immersive Media Industry Tour, visiting six local locations where they saw professionals in action and participated in hands-on learning experiences.
