Challenging Students to Learn & Create

NETA’s Live Student Contest (powered by Class Intercom) provides student teams from schools across Nebraska with a unique chance to compete. Student teams execute a series of social media content creation challenges, putting their creativity and collaborative storytelling skills to the test as they work to convey ideas, share information, and create compelling content in a timed, on-site format during NETA’s Spring Conference. The result is a uniquely collaborative and challenging environment that reflects the learning, growth, and innovation happening through student content creation in unique ways.
