4月11日星期四，爱荷华中央社区学院（Iowa Central Community College）的学生放假一天，但校园里却充满了活动，来自当地中学的学生聚集在一起，探索爱荷华中心提供的各种职业和学习领域。

来自Clarion Goldfield Dows， Greene County, Humboldt, newwell - fonda， Paton-Churdan和South Central Calhoun的学生在校园里度过了一天，参加了实践课堂活动，同时感受了爱荷华中心学生一天的生活。

学生们被分成小组，全天参加20多个职业领域的课堂课程。 每个小组都会见了导师，进行了问答环节，并有机会尝试每个职业领域的一些技能。

In the Robotics session, students learned about the various careers that can be pursued with a robotics degree, saw demonstrations on robotic equipment, and met Zeus, Iowa Central’s robotic dog, who performed a few tricks for them.

在计算机网络技术课上，学生们从安德鲁·汤普森和凯西·艾尔斯的讲师那里听到了IT、安全和网络领域以及两年制学位毕业生可以找到的好工作。 然后，他们在CNT学生每天学习的一些相同的程序上编写了自己的模拟网络。

当天最受欢迎的一站是kib工作室的数字媒体制作会议，学生们有机会在歌曲之间现场直播，电视和广播制作协调员尼基·拉斯穆森采访了他们每个人，他们回答了一些琐事问题。 他们还与数字媒体讲师米歇尔·贾登（Michelle Tjaden）一起录制了播客，这证明了学生们的成功，因为他们知道这可以成为一种职业。

“They’ve been very open and creative in their podcasts,” said Tjaden. “They’ve asked a lot of great questions what they can pursue and the courses they can take.”

Abbie Mushika, Rhemy Adams, Kaydence Knerl and Lilly Adams, eighth graders at
South Central Calhoun Middle School, recorded a podcast to be shared with their school, talking about sports and their interests outside of school.

当这四名学生结束了他们的播客节目，轮到他们在广播电台工作时，他们为媒体职业的所有可能性感到兴奋。

“That was so much fun, now I really want to come here for media,” said Mushika.

“I wish we could come every day for that,” said Knerl.

I knew you could make it a career, but I didn’t know just how much fun it could be,” said Lilly Adams.

参观完各部门后，学生们参观了校园，并在职业教育大楼共进午餐。
