Challenge Summary

Welcome to the NNS (NoNameSite.com) SoCo Video Demo Idea Generation Contest. The CS-STEM project project is an internet platform for helping middle school and high school students (13-18 year old demographic) develop an interest in the S.T.E.M. fields. The platform features contests, activities, prizes and web-based entertainment shows designed to get students engaged.

Primary Goal & Design Considerations

The SoCo teaches programming to middle school and high school students in a fun, rewarding way. The member will complete various programming tasks and be rewarded with scores, ratings, and the chance to win prizes.

Lessons will start off with very basic coding and logic so even members with no programming experience can participate. A simple, drag and drop interface will make the lesson easy to follow. Tasks and projects will increase in difficulty as the students move deeper into the process of learning how to program.

The goal of this contest is to come up with an idea of a demo video to show how the lessons work and how cool it is, that will make NNS a lots of attention and lots of members, as well as gain sponsors for more lessons or work.

Requirements

  1. This demo should showcase the lessons from https://www.nonamesite.com/web/cs-stem/coding-school-lessons, please use this test account cyberjag / simple to play around with the site.

  2. There are some graphics/animation related lessons like Basic Rectangle Movement, Rectangle Animation Rendering etc which can be used in the video.

  3. Your idea should translate in to video in about 15 to 20 seconds long
