How to participate?

Everyone can participate in the school project and competition. Teachers can register their courses from now and throughout the project period during the fall of 2024. 


Registration

The registration is closed.

Access to the project curriculum

Our project curriculum for the election project will be finalized during the 2024 summer holidays as we want to guarantee that classroom materials and tasks will be up-to-date. A preview version will be made available before the summer for early participants. You can also use parts of the project curriculum from the 2020 project cycle (e.g., contents on the electoral system and general campaign issues) by using our 2020 demo Moodle course

Project participants will be provided with their own password-protected e-classroom upon registration (after the summer holidays). It is up to you whether you would like to use the Moodle classroom in class with your students or rather just as a materials depository. 


Adopt-a-state

Participants will be assigned their U.S. state after the summer holidays through a state lottery. States may be assigned to more than one course. Let us know in the registration form if your school has an existing partnership with a school in the U.S. - if possible, we will accommodate this and assign you that state for the project. 


Competition

Participating courses can submit their prediction of the adopted state's election outcome until approx. one week prior to the project conclusion and Election Day (exact date tbd). Courses can choose to only submit their prediction or also participate in the school competition by submitting a creative outcome related to their prediction.
