The Metropolitan Council in Minnesota’s Twin Cities region set about to transform a 30-year-old static slideshow into a fun and engaging 10-minute video for school to learn about treating wastewater.
Completed in 2021, the video came in handy, especially when the pandemic hit and kids were learning from home. The utility also took the opportunity to update some of the material from the slideshow.
The video was created internally by Met Council staff members and reviewed by children. Together, they made sure the content included all treatment stages and was easy to understand and entertaining for ages 7-12.
