  11. Conclusion • Our middle school students really did rise to the occasion while working on this project! • At the start of their journey they did not even know what a “major” was. By the time they were finished they had jumped in full force and worked with IVC’s Television Production Specialist in conducting an interview with the Key Visual Effects Coordinator for the movie AVATAR. • The students received actual on-the-job training in two specific career pathways and enjoyed themselves while they did it!
