White House Student Film Festival

First Annual White House Student Film Festival 

President Obama has an assignment for you ... 

A video contest created just for K-12 students, and whose finalists will have their short films shown at the White House. Finalist videos may also be featured on the White House website, YouTube channel, and social media pages.

The Assignment:

Our schools are more high-tech than ever. There are laptops in nearly every classroom. You can take an online course on Japanese -- and then video chat with a kid from Japan. You can learn about geometry through an app on your iPad. So, what does it all mean? We’re looking for videos that highlight the power of technology in schools. Your film should address at least one of the following themes:

• How you currently use technology in your classroom or school. 
• The role technology will play in education in the future.

Deadline: January 29, 2014
