Teaching With Contests is a site designed to help you find contests in academic or content areas that you and/or your students can participate in. A review of the site will lead you to contests covering all content areas. The creators of Teaching with Contests state that their goal is to assist educators in finding contests that can be used in the classroom to motivate students: "We are here for the student and the teacher not the promotion of products or company public relations. Our goal is to select contests and programs whose primary goal is education and secondarily business/product promotion."
Academic contests can be a fun way to get students excited about writing an essay, creating a video, writing a poem, or completing any number of learning activities.--who knew that there is a national contest in sculpturing tape(sponsored by 3M)?? At any rate, there are varied contests listed and updated-Just a page that you might want to bookmark and check periodically!
