Teachers

We are very excited to invite you and your students to participate in the first AASCA Media Festival, in what we hope will become a new tradition for AASCA schools. The AASCA Media Festival is a technology-driven festival to promote project-based learning, technology integration, and creativity, and to recognize exemplary student work. The festival is a two-part event. Part One: Online submission of media projects. For the first year we are limiting this to student-created videos only. Please see the submission rules included below. Part Two: The second part of the festival will look more like a traditional AASCA event, with schools sending teams to the host school to participate in an on-site event. The event will be a two-day movie making experience that involves a theme and rubric that will not be disclosed to the participants until their arrival at the event. The activity will include students being transported to various locations that provide opportunities for filming the movie. The closing event will be an Oscar-style awards banquet where movies will be shown and awards presented. See your principal if you are interested in coaching your school’s team.
