CSTA ANNOUNCEMENTS
LISTSERV
The Equity Committee of
the CSTA is sponsoring a contest to celebrate the many different kinds of faces
that we see in the computing world. For the past two years, students have
created posters to celebrate diversity in computing. This year, we're
going to shake things up a little, and we are asking for a commercial-length
(1-3 minutes) video that features students participating in computing in interesting
ways. The exact style and format is up to your students. They might
make a short-short film, a public service announcement, or a commercial for
your class, your robotics club, or Computer Science in general. Let your
students be creative!
Winners will
receive Sphero, Ollie (http://www.gosphero.com/), or Finch robots (http://www.finchrobot.com/) for their classrooms (note: value of
prize package per classroom is approximately $500). If you need
inspiration, please see the winners of the last two years' poster contests on
the CSTA Web Site (http://csta.acm.org/Advocacy_Outreach/sub/CSEdWeek.html).
The contest deadline is
November 20, 2014. Rules, guidelines and release forms can be found on
the CSTA Web site at http://csta.acm.org/Advocacy_Outreach/Other/FOC.html.
If you have questions about the contest, please email Laura Blankenship
at lblanken@gmail.com.
Yours truly,
The CSTA Equity
Committee
