Get Real Winners

Winning the iPads or Kindles for the class for making things real? Yes!

CK-12 Foundation is providing a chance for students and teachers to win devices of their choice (iPads, Kindle, Chromebooks etc.) for their entire classroom! The "Get-Real"competition is designed to stimulate creativity and critical thinking. They can make a difference to the way we learn and teach and understand our world.  Students need to create practical examples (multiple submission formats allowed) using STEM K-12 concepts to demonstrate how those could be applied in our real world. Think: How did the Egyptians build pyramids made up of perfect congruent triangles? Check it out
