That's Infotainment!

That's Infotainment!, often referred to as just Infotainment, is the second semester freshman project. Students are split into new houses. Each house represents a topic and presents their house teacher's script as a stage show. These topics are Human Rights (N), Eco-Tech (E), Ecology (S), and Global Pandemics (W).

Project Components
Unlike other projects at IPoly, where all components have the same requirements and are due the same week, Infotainment has many different groups of people with varying jobs and deadlines.

Resume
Students are required to write a resume for a specific job in Infotainment. The freshman teachers will review all resumes and will assign a job to each student. The week after Winter Break, the Infotainment job list is posted. Most students will only have to turn in a resume, but performers must also perform a monologue of their choice and leaders must have an interview the week before the job list goes up. Many factors affect what job a student will get, including but not limited to the following: Resumes are usually due the second to last week of first semester. Students applying for leadership jobs still require a resume, but their recruitment is
 * For leadership positions, teachers mostly decide whether or not a student is good for the position by their experience with that student and their actions during their interview.
 * Students explain in their resumes what experience they have with the job they are applying for or a similar one. How well students can convince the teachers of their skill directly affects a student's placement.

House Selection
The Infotainment houses are chosen depending on your vote during the entrance exam and what job you were assigned. Performers are placed depending what roles the scripts call for and how well they fit the role.

Boot Camp
The first week of students being in their new houses marks Boot Camp. This is when students replace all of their core classes with house. House teachers educate the students in their house on the house topics listed in the introduction. When Boot Camp is over, students go back to their normal schedule.

Preparation
There are many available jobs for Infotainment, and each one has a different responsibility during preparation.

The Show
That's Infotainment! itself (also known as the Day of Infotainment) is usually some time in April. Some small businesses help fund the show in exchange for an advertisement during the pre-show. This year, Infotainment will be on April 26, 2018.

Trade Show
The Trade Show is a child project of Infotainment, as the pamphlets and quilt patches made in this project are displayed on the Day of Infotainment. Trade Show topics are also somewhat dictated by which house the student is in.
