What Your Students Get Out of the Contest

Read or watch what other teachers loved about the contest

“I think that contest is a great idea and I am glad this is being hosted. I have entered multiple other contests during this school year for other classes, but none have been quite as interesting and organized as this one.”

“I just wanted to say that this was a really fun contest. I learned a lot about my topic which was how air pollution affects global health. Making the video was also fun because I love editing. I had so much fun!”

“This contest has brought to my awareness the many issues we currently face in our world today. It has also made me know that the world could even be facing bigger issues if action is not taken now. By bringing all these to me awareness, this contest has encouraged me to be both an environmental and social activist.”

“I think this is one of the most fun contests I've ever participated in. I not only learned a lot about my specific topic, but I learned how to use different animation apps and most importantly how to virtually work with my team!”
