Who should submit this application? 

Each project needs an adult "Project Sponsor" to complete this application alongside the student/s who worked on the project. A Project Sponsor is usually a teacher, or a program facilitator, but you can also be a parent or guardian.

PART 3: Project Media & Links (Public)

Note: If you are sharing Google Slides, Docs, PDFs, or other links, make sure that we have access to view them and use the Share setting "Anyone with the link can VIEW". You can test that your links are shareable by trying to open them in an 'incognito window'. 

Images must be 5MB or smaller.  This image will be the top image on your project page and the image that appears with your project on the Emoti-Con home page. It can be a logo for your project, a photo or screenshot of your work. Only include images you own or have permission to share.
Upload up to 4 additional images to show off your project. 5MB Max, each.

How to add a Video

Videos should be under 20 minutes - if you have a longer video, please share which parts of the video are most important for judges to watch in the "more about this project" section below. Use timestamps if you can.

To include a video with your project, you can copy and paste a full video URL from YouTube or Vimeo into the "Add a Video Link" area below.

A full URL includes the "https://" at the beginning, and should look something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqlN03mg488

Think about using your phone to record a quick "Pitch" about your project! Upload the video to YouTube or Vimeo and share the full link here. Email Emoticon@mouse.org if you need help.
Add a full link to your slides (Example: https://www.slides.com/myslides). Make sure your slides are shared with the right share settings: "Anyone with the link can view". Email Emoticon@mouse.org if you need help.

Add More Links (Optional)

Add any additional links for your project here. If you are sharing your project on another website like Wix or Google Drive or Scratch or Glitch or SoundCloud, you can add those links here as well. Make sure it is a full URL (Example: https://mylinksareawesome.com)

If you think it would be helpful, please share details about the links, images, video or slides that you shared. For example: "In the photo, you can see a drawing of our app design. The top section is the main menu and the middle is the map." or "The link takes you to our scratch game page".
