Engineers get artsy with video contest
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on the Whiting School of Engineering’s first video competition and its goals.
- The paper reported that 12 groups entered the contest, which required original engineering-themed videos and allowed undergraduate, graduate and research groups to participate.
- The article adds that entries fit four broad themes: “It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time,” “A Day in the Life,” “A New Discovery” and “How it Works.”
- The reporter writes that the Digital Media Center provided equipment, training and an Intersession course to help competitors make their videos.
- According to the article, contestant Dave Filipiak said the project aimed to promote Hopkins engineering and show what students could accomplish, rather than win the cash prize.
- The News-Letter reported that judges would award first-, second- and third-place cash prizes, while the public could vote for a people’s choice award through April 21.
