<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings all!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">I received the official announcement of CSLP’s Teen Video Challenge today. Although I was made aware of it by a past entrant before the holidays, I haven’t managed to get Oregon’s together quite yet, but it will
happen! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><b>Deadline and voting will be in late February/early March.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To those of you who have participated, who have considered participating but haven’t, who have chosen not to participate:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">CSLP is creating an ad hoc committee to discuss re-vamping the program. The first virtual discussion will happen on
<b>January 18<sup>th</sup></b>. If you are interested in participating, please let me know. Otherwise, I will take Oregon’s responses to the QUESTION below into the discussion.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">The biggest topic around the TVC at the last meeting was to change the format from formal video to SnapChat or some other quick access medium.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">I feel very strongly that providing a challenge that requires skill is valid. There are sports options that do this. Battle of the Books does this. Robotics. Etc. I recognize that more youth would likely participate,
and have the ability to participate, if it was simpler and quicker, but I think it would lose the challenge aspect and thus the quality of the output. I know this is limiting to many, but any competition that provides a valid challenge and requires a quality
outcome is limiting. Just my two sense. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><b>QUESTION: What would be your ideal TVC format/set up? Would you keep it as challenging as it is? Or would you rather see more participants?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
