"Catch On" Online Video Contest

“CATCH ON” – CCIH Online Video Contest

Just learned about a cool technology that may change a few lives, a
dozen communities, or the entire world?

Share your talent and passion for global health! Join the “Catch On”
Online Video Contest.

Make your own video clip. Show us how technology, new or old,
complicated or simple, can potentially improve international public
health. The technology does not have to be your own invention. Many of
us want to learn what’s out there and how it works! What you are
already familiar with may be something new and useful to others.

Need inspiration? Here are some ideas:

- software that brings people together and makes it easy to learn and
share
- method of providing clean drinking water
- small gadget that prevents injury
- demo tool that improves communication between health provider and
clients
- electronic product that works well in harsh field condition

Another whole group of ideas is adaptations and modifications in
technology made to meet the needs of diverse communities around the
world.

Never taken or uploaded any video? Don’t worry. We have links to
resources on our website: http://www.ccih.org/students/VideoContest_HelpResources.htm

I think this video contest is a great idea. I hope some people go for
it. I'm a professor, so I can't. If some of you students don't get on
to it, I'm going to put my 13 yr old son onto it and let him try!

Mark,

You can still go for the contest - you are just not eligible for the
prizes :P

But don't give up! CCIH will give recognition to and promote all
videos that the review committee considers "good", and get your ideas
and talents out to be seen there!
