Description

Miami Valley Tech Prep Consortium students have an opportunity to compete in the Sinclair Tech Prep Showcase. Students develop contextual learning projects based on the skills and knowledge they have gained in their Career Tech classes. Teams are composed of 2–5 students, and presentations should be 5–7 minutes. Students are judged according to a rubric using the following criteria:

  • Project research and development
  • Authentic work-based learning
  • Academic/technical skills
  • Professional relationships
  • Presentation skills

The Showcase features projects from 15 Ohio career pathways: Agricultural & Environmental Systems, Arts & Communication, Business & Administrative Services, Construction Technologies, Education & Training, Engineering & Science Technologies, Finance, Health Science, Hospitality & Tourism, Human Services, Information Technology, Law & Public Safety, Manufacturing Technologies, Marketing, and Transportation Systems.

The Showcase provides students with the opportunity to network with other Career Tech students in the area and to interact with judges from education, business, industry, and labor.
