Having your schoolwork posted on the fridge at home is cool. But having a video you made posted on the White House website and screened at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? That’s pretty cool, too. Submit your three-minute-or-under film to the first-ever White House Student Film Festival: a video contest created just for K-12 students, and whose finalists will have their short films shown at the White House. Finalist videos may also be featured on the White House website, YouTube channel, and social media pages.

Your short film must address either how you currently use technology in your classroom or the role technology will play in education in the future.
