"The Sci Doc challenge was an eye-opening experience for me as an educator. I was shocked by the ability many of my students have when it comes to creating and editing videos. Because the Science Documentary challenge does not limit students to a specific topic, students enjoyed having free rein on producing videos on topics that were of interest to them."

"It means a lot to me that someone found [my project] interesting and wanted to hear what I have to say. I think that it often feels that you can talk to the people who already know what you think, and they already know who you are, and it doesn’t feel like you’re making a difference, but to have your voice amplified is empowering."

"Making this video at first was just a school project, but then getting into making it and digging into [my personal experiences with racism], I realized I’m not the only one who’s had these things happen to them... It felt good to have my video open peoples’ eyes and ask themselves what they can do to change. [Doing this project] has inspired me to do more to help out my community and produce more videos to bring this topic to light and bring change."
