A student competition is a competition between students or teams of students within a classroom or across different schools and across geographical regions. Increasing student motivation is a never-ending task for educators. Student competitions help bring about a student’s best effort by inspiring creativity and challenging the student to utilize their skills. Teachers incorporate student competitions as part of their curriculum to encourage students to stay on task and bring forward their best work by significantly increasing the ‘Payoff for the Student’ by providing:

  • In-class marks towards final grades.
  • The opportunity to put their creativity and skill set to the test by allowing them to show off their comprehensive knowledge of a software, hardware, or music technology item.
  • An occasion to compare their skill levels and creativity with that of students across North *America, as well as with their own local classmates.
  • A chance at winning cash and other great prizes.

There are many student competitions running across North America. These competitions comprise of students first competing with other students in their classrooms. The winners go on to regional competitions and finally on to national competitions.
