CTE Month and NASA HUNCH Student Video Challenge
CTE Month® and NASA HUNCH 2019-2020 Student Video Challenge
Association for Career & Technical Education (ACTE) and NASA HUNCH are excited to host, in our second year, the student video challenge, celebrating career and technical education (CTE) and project-based learning programs.
Video Challenge and Theme: "Living and Working on the Moon and Beyond"
- Celebrate the 50+ year anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission by “looking back and looking ahead” — discuss some ideas of what lies ahead in lunar exploration and colonization.
- The moon is our closest planetary neighbor (average distance of 384,400 kilometers or 238,900 miles). Feature a project (hosted on Earth or the moon) that could advance our understanding of living and working in extreme environments.
- Showcase a future scenario on the moon that incorporates CTE and/or project-based learning.
The contest is open to middle school (6th-8th grades), high school and postsecondary students in any CTE or project-based (hands-on) class or program, or NASA HUNCH school. Students may enter as individuals or as a team.
Deadline to submit your video to ACTE is on Monday, March 2 at 11:59 p.m. EST.
