Teachers submit one entry per school on behalf of their team. Have your video and team information ready before you open the form. Submissions close November 15.
Before you open the form, make sure you have the following on hand.
Your school name, your county (Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, or Yolo), and a school district email address.
First and last names of all four students on the team, and their grade level. County champions are recognized by grade level.
A short written summary of the community challenge your team investigated and the solution they built in Minecraft.
Your team's video walkthrough (up to 5 minutes), hosted somewhere shareable (YouTube, Google Drive, etc.). The video should be narrated by the students. See below for what judges want to hear.
Judges review every submission. A strong video covers all four of these in the students' own words.
Explain the real community challenge your team chose to address. Show that you listened, researched, and understood the problem before you started building.
Walk through the solution your team built. Explain how it responds to what you learned and why the team made the choices it made, rather than only describing how it looks.
Walk judges through your Minecraft build. Every design choice should have a purpose. Show the reasoning behind the construction as well as the finished result.
Explain why your solution would improve your community and who it would benefit. This is where students get to advocate rather than simply present.
One submission per school. The form collects your school and team information, a brief project description, and a link to your video. Submitting teachers confirm that the entry is the original work of the students listed.
Start by registering your team. The submission form for Round 1 video entries will open after registration.
