Two of the Big 3 STLP participation categories involve Projects and Digital Products…and they are very different! With registration for Regionals looming (November 15th) and DPOJ registration on the horizon (February 4th), now’s a great time to pause and look at the key differences to both.
Let’s dig in:
Projects
- technology infused
- extends throughout school year
- solves a challenge or problem in school/community
- register projects in November
- present project idea (Project Pitch) in December
- Part of Regionals + State
Project Resources include:
-
- Project Toolkit (filled with guided questions, rubrics, and resource links)
- Regionals Info Page (easy step by step guide to preparing and registering for Regionals)
- Samples of Past Projects (get inspired and review exemplars)
- 2020 Regionals – Level 1 Project entries
- 2021 State – Level 2 & 3 Project entries (plus State Champs!)
Register before November 15th to reserve spots for your project ideas… then continue to develop your pitch until Regional Week (Dec. 6-10)
