As summer vacation winds down, and gifted kids may be looking for a project to dig into, Constitution Day (Sept 17) is just 6 weeks away. That also marks the final day for students of all ages to enter the annual "We the Future" competition sponsored by Constituting America.

The last few weeks of summer vacation may be a good time to create a contest entry.

Competition levels for 2018 include elementary, middle, high school, college/university, graduate/law school.
New categories for 2018 include: teacher, short film, and senior adult essay.

Past winners are shown here.

Happy Constitution Day, USA. (Monday, September 17, 2018)

Past entries in Constituting America's annual "We the Future" competition make great supplemental educational resources, highlighting gifts and talents of a diverse group of students: https://vimeo.com/channels/constitutionday

This year, past award-winners of the "We the Future" competition were been invited to Washington DC to perform on Constitution Day. The event was live-streamed, and a recording is now available at this link: DoE - Constitution Day Event 2018 Unfortunately, the sound quality is not great.
