StoryJam Challenges

Supporting SceneCraft Educators


Overview

StoryJam gives educators an opportunity to receive support in using SceneCraft and to be compensated using SceneCraft in the classroom.  

To meet educators where they are, we provide a range of ways to participate in StoryJam, from using a pre-made story and lesson materials with your class to working with the team to creating your own exemplar stories to share with your peers.

Just Try It! Challenge
All new tools can take a while to learn and the only way to learn is to just give it a try! The first StoryJam challenge, Just Try It! , runs from now until January 31. 

The first challenge encourages you to try the authoring tool. Build a story for any classroom use–whether as a launch for a specific unit, a lesson on AI, or just for something new and exciting for your students.

Who can participate

Any K-12 educator can join Story Jam Sessions, share experiences and stories, and see what peers have already created in the project gallery.

If you want to receive a thank you gift card for participating in StoryJam and taking the time to share your story and experience with others, you will need to:

  • Verify that you are an educator at a school or organization serving K-12 students
  • Use the story with your students and take a picture to show you have done so.
  • Submit a complete project submission using this form including sharing links to your finished story and uploading the file for others to remix.
