Wind River Student Art and Scratch Project Exhibition

About the Art and Scratch Project Exhibition

• The Wind River Computer Science Elementary Collaborative is developing computer science curriculum that is culturally relevant. Art submissions will be incorporated in this curriculum.
• Students who have worked in Scratch can also submit Scratch projects they wish to share with their communities.
• One goal of the exhibition is to inspire students across the Wind River Reservation to submit projects that explore the connection, history, and culture of the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone peoples.
• A second goal of the exhibition is to inspire students to share their computer science learning with the Wind River community.
• All student artists and programmers will receive a certificate and be credited for their submissions. They will also receive a small gift card.
• Participating teachers will receive an honorarium up to $200.

Exhibition Requirements

Participating students can submit one or more of the following with a 1-2 sentence description:

1. An artistic interpretation of one of the artifacts from the Wind River Virtual Museum.
   • Visit http://www.windrivervm.org/arapaho.php for Northern Arapaho artifacts.
   • Visit http://www.windrivervm.org/shoshone.php for Eastern Shoshone artifacts.
2. An artistic interpretation or photograph of original beadwork created by the student artist.
   • For example, beadwork with floral patterns or geometric designs.
3. An artistic interpretation of a keepsake meaningful to the student artist.
   • For example, a treasured toy, a keepsake vehicle, favorite person, beloved animal, etc.
4. A photograph or artistic interpretation of a person or sculpture wearing typical or traditional attire, provided that it is not sacred.
   • Consider a range of ages, genders, skin colors, body types, attire, (dis)abilities, etc.
5. A Scratch project created by the student. Students may choose to use their own art or art from last year’s art contest as sprites in their projects, but this is not required.

• Teachers will upload art submissions on behalf of participating students through the following link: https://bootuppd.org/teacher-submission/.
• Teachers will also submit Scratch projects for their students using the same submission site. Students will need to share their Scratch projects so teachers can provide a link to the project with the submission. Here's a video on how to share a Scratch project.
