The Winners of the Virtual Squad Tour!

Hey there Squad members! Here it is, the moment we've been waiting all month for: it's time to announce the November MicroProject winners! November's Challenge was to create a virtual tour of your squad using multimedia. We asked you to show us around your Mouse Squad cribs, tell us about what makes your Squad unique and show us what a typical day is like being in your Mouse Squad. We had some amazing submissions this month.

Our Grand Prize

A $60 gift card to Best Buy goes to the Nerdy Bulldogs of PS 43 School by the Sea in Queens, NY. These students got creative with their virtual tour and made a narrated slideshow that goes through a full day in the life of their Mouse Squad from getting tickets to closing cases. The yearbook style transitions and the commentary on each photo make it feel like we're taking a trip down memory lane, reliving this day in the life of the Nerdy Bulldog Mouse Squad. Check it out!

It's always such a difficult decision voting on submissions and awarding these prizes. Thank you to Coordinators and students who participated and submitted such awesome projects! We are looking forward to seeing many more of them in the future. Be sure to check out our Holiday MicroProject: Teach Your Parents Tech! See you next time!
