Texas Techies Animator 2011: "The Oceans"

"Engaging students in math, science, and technology, as these are the most important factors in creating tomorrow's workforce." 

Texas Techies Organization, Grande Communications and Celebration Nation are proud to host the Texas Techies Animator 2011, a competition where we invite all Corpus Christi area school children (Kindergarten - 12th Grade) to create an animation using the software Scratch.  

2011 THEME: "THE OCEANS" 
For this year's competition, the challenge will be centered around a single theme,"The Oceans", and will allow the animators a great amount of creativity in their interpretation and execution of that theme.
