My name is Karmyn Lucescu, and I'm the Studica Skills Specialist. If you haven't already heard of us, you can learn about us here: http://StudicaSkills.com
We offer a variety of free student competitions in categories such as:
desktop music, scriptwriting, digital art and sketching, video production, comic book design, CAD, robotics... with hundreds of prizes to be won (including monthly random prizes). These competitions are open to students around the world from various age and grade levels, and they are welcome to enter as many competitions as they'd like. Some of the categories are software-specific, but there are some generic ones as well which allow the competitors to use the program of their choice.
There's a breakdown of all the competitions on the main page, and you can check out the current forerunners and all submissions. We know there is a LOT of talent out there, and this is our way of giving back to the education community. There is no commitment to buy or subscribe to any of our products or services, and Studica Skills is the non-profit division of Torcomp Studica, an educational software reseller.
We've made it very easy for teachers to incorporate these competitions into their curricula, so if you teach, or know someone who does, PLEASE pass this information along! We offer free teachers' kits including some literature, posters, fact sheets and some freebies (to keep, or to be used as incentives for the students), so I'll gladly send some out your way!
I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have, and certainly if you know of anyone else who might be interested in the Studica Skills competitions, feel free to pass on my contact information or send theirs to me.
Hi Karmyn,
I just saw a post from you were you said "Math certainly is NOT the easiest subject in which to do this!" You were referring to wikis. I'm taking a course where we need to create wikis and I've chosen math. What was I thinking? ha ha. I just wanted you to know that your Crocodile competition caught my attention and looked really interesting. Thanks for sharing.
