2012 APA PT@CC Student Presentation Contest
The APA Committee of Psychology Teachers at Community Colleges (PT@CC) invites your students to participate in the 9th annual PT@CC Student Presentation Contest! Supported through funding by the APA Education Directorate, the Student Presentation Contest recognizes innovative and high quality electronic presentations. In 2012, PT@CC looks forward to receiving an expanded set of presentations including original videos, websites and electronic presentations.
The PT@CC Student Presentation Contest aims to promote active learning through the submission of psychology student presentations in either of the following categories:
Presentations designed as demonstrations or teaching modules that illustrate and explain a psychological concept, theory or research discovery.
Presentations that illustrate and explain a service-learning experience or other application of psychology in the community.
Entries should be developed primarily by students and designed to explain the concept, research, or application to a 2-year college student audience. Nearly any class project that can be put into a PowerPoint, video, website or similar electronic format will be acceptable.
The competition is open to students currently enrolled at a community college or other 2-year school. Students are eligible for the contest if they are community college students who have not previously completed a bachelor's degree. Faculty sponsors must be members of PT@CC. If you have students who might be interested in entering, tell them about this opportunity and urge them to begin work on their presentations right away. The entry deadline is June 1, 2012.
The first place winner will be awarded $500; second and third place winners will receive $300 and $200, respectively. Certificates for all winners will be presented at the APA annual convention.
