Procedures

All entries, from conception to final product, must be written or developed by the students entering the project. Entries must be packaged in a way that they can be easily submitted via a link on the school entry form. Both the project and the program required to run it must be included in the entry. Operational procedures must be included on the entry form and explained to your Media Specialist.
Coding entries often require specific software. If your program will not run without the software, the student must include a screen recording or screenshots showcasing what the code is intended to do. For example, students can screen record on their iPad, upload the file to OneDrive, generate a link and copy/paste the link in with their coding information to https://wcpsmediaexpo.com .

This may also mean that the student has combined content and/or code in a way that is interesting or different.
