Building a curriculum-based media festival celebrates authentic assessment and project-based learning, and gives students and teachers ownership and pride. From kindergarten through high school -- in a classroom, district, or school -- target all subject areas and grades or pick a focus area (examples: marine science, mathematics, community). Think student speeches, red carpet, proud parents, and community engagement. Explore great K-12 student examples, takeaway rubrics, and roadmaps! Practice building a mission statement and judging sheet. Strategize scaffolded projects. Learn from a 20-year veteran of the nation’s oldest student media festival. Bonus: Learn the details of eight non-profit national project challenges offering students monetary awards for work. They are free to enter and established by companies like Toyota, Lockheed Martin, and agencies like the DEA.
