• A clever name can make your project memorable.
• The right name can distinguish your project from others and help create buzz around your project.
• This project is your baby! Part of the fun of bringing something new into the world is coming up with a name.

• If you have an idea for a project that doesn't fit the current theme then submit your idea in the comments section of the monthly poll.

• Providing the steps you took to complete your project (text, video, or images) and providing video proof should be sufficient in most cases.
• If your project introduces something new or something that is not commercially available or affordable then that counts!

• If it doesn't work that's fine, this program is more about the journey than the end product.
• A short video is all that is required but you can shoot as much video as you like.
• You are encouraged to be creative and have as much fun as possible!
