Deadline: 8th June 2020 | Students 12-19+ | Looking for a summer project? This online competition will help you explore, imagine and reflect on how COVID-19 has left its mark on our world.
Win cash prizes, mentorship and exposure with the ‘Outbreak: What’s Next?’ Competition. Here’s your chance to innovate and express your ideas creatively.
Hey Changemakers!
COVID-19 is everywhere and is affecting everyone in the very here and now. It has taken away far too many lives and livelihoods and is disrupting our day-to-day in the most unexpected ways possible. How can we move on from this global pandemic – where do we go from here?
Did you know that 91% of the student population has had their education disrupted and that’s 1.5 billion students around the world?
Schools had been in suspension for the past months, international exams were canceled and our learning routine turned upside down. Many cities are still under lockdown and international travel may not return to normal anytime soon. We are approaching the summer months but the reality is that students around the world may continue to be stuck at home. If normal summer experiences are no longer available, how can we keep this summer productive and meaningful?
Every crisis is an opportunity. Welcome to OWN Academy’s Real World Challenge – Education Edition. We want to hear your creative ideas for an alternative learning engagement over the summer. Let’s brainstorm effective and innovative project ideas where students can have fun and learn at the same time.
Give us your best project ideas for the summer that students can participate in and make this summer not only exciting but memorable.
Key Questions to Answer in your 200-word submission.
– What is the topic/theme/subject related to your project idea?
– What is the goal of this project?
– What will be created in the end?
– What would students need to do to achieve the goal?
– What type of students do you think would be excited about this?
Expectations:
Submit your most quirky, weird yet engaging project idea in 200 words or less, supported by a visual, static, or moving. It can be an inspirational quote, a video, a meme, a GIF, just be creative.
Judging Criteria:
Innovation – Are your ideas substantial and fully developed? Did you think out of the box? What is your differentiating factor?
