Submission Details

 

For your team submission, there are 3 steps:

  1. Use the submission support workbook with your team to develop your submission (optional)

    This workbook is designed to support you in your innovation process and in crafting your final submission responses. Not only does it provide some support frameworks, it also gives you a place to draft your ideas so that you can just copy and paste your responses into the submission form.

  2. Copy and paste the answers from your submission support workbook (if used) into the final submission form

    You must submit your final submission at this link HERE by April 8th, 11:59pm PST in order to be eligible for the contest. Remember, just one submission per team.

  3. Optional step: Email 1 photograph of your team—a zoom photo is ok—AND send us 1 to 3 images of your prototype

    To submit your prototype images, please submit to katuinnovation@constructlearns.org and title your email subject line: KATUchallenge-[Your Registered Team Name]-prototype.

    You may submit up to 3 images or videos but it is important that these do not include any student faces.
