2ND ANNUAL FULTON SCIENCE ACADEMY S.T.E.A.M. VIDEO CONTEST

Dear Students, Faculty, and Parents,

We are pleased to announce FSA’s 2nd Annual S.T.E.A.M. Video Contest.

EXCITING TIMES! Once again, we will have a Red Carpet Awards Show on Friday, January 27, 2017 with fun activities and surprises to celebrate our students' skills in different areas of movie making.



THEME
This year we will once again invite video entries with a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math) theme. This broad concept allows students to create their video on a topic that they like. Participants can do anything from exploring a science or math theory/concept to something more charitable in nature that discusses a community need and how it can be addressed. You name it! There is a wide spectrum of opportunities under the umbrella of S.T.E.A.M.

FORMAT
Feel free to use any video editing software and upload your finished video to YouTube. Suggested duration of the video is 3 to 5 minutes. Please only use materials recorded by you.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE
This will be a great project for all students in grades four and higher to work on during their Thanksgiving and winter holidays. Therefore, the submission deadline is Sunday, January 8, 2017.
