AMMON — Teens and C-SPAN aren’t two words that are generally associated with each other.

But on Friday, C-SPAN was in eastern Idaho to teach local students, and give them an up-close look at broadcast television.

The C-SPAN (Cable Public Affairs Network) bus visited Idaho Falls and Ammon as part of its “50 Capitals Tour.” Idaho is the 27th state to be visited, and the bus stopped in eastern Idaho on its way to Boise to interview Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter on Monday.

C-SPAN representatives Joel Bacon and Vanessa Torres are promoting the networks educational options for students and teachers. The bus visited Compass Academy, Hillcrest High School and Bonneville High School giving students an interactive experience and education about journalism, government, broadcasting and the technology inside the bus.

Inside the bus has 11 tablets to quiz students on their political knowledge, a T.V. studio, a selfie station with C-SPAN microphone, studio gear and more.

“We are talking with students about all of the great resources that C-SPAN has,” Bacon said.
