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.
