# Description
Vlogging encourages good storytelling, videography, and editing techniques to create a coherent series of creative work. Applying leadership and 21st century skills, participants use digital video technology to create original content that reflects an annual technology theme. Semifinalists complete an onsite challenge to produce additional video(s). Required criteria, such as props, lines of dialog, topics, etc., will be revealed at the semifinalist orientation meeting.
# Theme 2026-2027
Theme: The Butterfly Effect
Small actions can create extraordinary change.
Create a three-episode vlog series, not to exceed six minutes total, that explores how one decision, act of kindness, innovation, challenge, or moment can lead to a chain of events that produces a meaningful impact. Your vlog should demonstrate how seemingly small actions can inspire growth, influence others, and create lasting change.
Your series should follow a connected storyline across all three episodes, capturing authentic experiences, thoughtful reflection, and engaging storytelling. Through creative videography, editing, and presentation, illustrate how one small action can spark a ripple effect that extends far beyond its original moment.
