The 2012 Video Contest is open to students attending any South Carolina middle or high school whether public, private or home school.
“In order to succeed in today’s world, students must know how to be innovators. They must know how to take risks and think critically about problems and solutions,” Melanie Barton, EOC’s executive director, said in a release. “We are interested in getting ideas from young people about what innovation looks like, or should look like, in today’s schools.”
