Student Entry PortfolioCompleted by Student
Select three (3) examples of work that you feel best represents who you are.
Choose pieces that exemplify who you are or what you are interested in.
Portfolio can include items created for school, extra-curriculars, or projects done on your own time. Examples include, but are not limited to: writing, art, code, performance, design, athletics, research, invention, events, and leadership.
Regardless of the original medium, all samples of your work must be submitted digitally. Use writing, videos, and/or images to give us an accurate picture of what you are showcasing.
For example, if you created a robot send us pictures or a video of the robot, rather than the robot itself. If you performed or composed music, send us a video or audio recording of the performance. If you programmed a game, send a screen capture of it. Links to work already online are also acceptable.
