CodeWeekEU 2015 Storytelling and Video Contest

Europe Code Week ambassadors encourage all event organizers to tell their CodeWeek stories by making short videos and sharing them on YouTube.

The CodeWeekEU-2015 Video Contest provides an additional motivation to share and promote the videos in order to keep raising awareness of the importance of computational thinking beyond Code Week.

You can take participate with three kinds of videos:

• videos made during CodeWeek events
• videos reporting the effects of the "Ode to code" tune
• videos showing the results of a remix of the CodeWeekEU tutorial on Scratch
.

The "Ode to code" is an open source music made to celebrate Europe Code Week 2015. It can be freely added as a sound track to your videos, or remixed to make your own sound track. All the resources you need for your project are available on http://codeweek.it/ode-to-code/
