"In the smallest of businesses comes inspiration, innovation and industriousness,” commented Kimberly Ghaphery, faculty team advisor. “Manufacturing reminds us that it will always take a person to operate a machine. What better way to teach our children how to make a mark on the world!"

“Today’s middle school students will be tomorrow’s workforce in manufacturing in West Virginia,” said Program Director Monica Cross, who oversees the Explore the New Manufacturing program on behalf of the West Virginia Manufacturers Association Educational Fund’s efforts to create student awareness and excitement about careers in manufacturing and the training opportunities for these positions in their local areas. “We are excited to share Moundsville Middle School’s video with you. The team did an excellent job, and their results illustrate the use of creativity, problem-solving, communication, and teamwork.”
