Congratulations to the DIY Winners for 2015!

Thank you so much to everyone who submitted something to the DIY Project. Thank you for your hard work and effort, we couldn't do this competition without you. Now without further ado, this year's winners are...

Grand Prize

The winning project was submitted by Anthony from the Mouse Squad of P256Q in Far Rockaway, Queens for his project iCover All You Wanted to Know About Apple. This project was so big he couldn't upload it to mousesquad.org. He had to send it to us on a USB stick, but it was worth the wait.

Available as both a PDF and in the interactive iBook format, iCover teaches everything you need to know about using Apple products. The interactive version has built in video and is fully accessible to people with disabilities. We think iCover All You Wanted to Know About Apple is incredible, and an embodiment of what the DIY Project is all about. Congratulations Anthony, great job!
Check out the PDF or the interactive iBook

Runners Up

This year we have 2 runners up:

Our first runner up is the Bulldogs Squad at Achieve Charter Academy in Canton, Michigan. They submitted many D.I.Y. Projects including a detailed prezi on how to travel and a PDF on how to use chopsticks with step by step illustrations. We liked their projects because they cover lots of topics, show good design and have awesome attention to detail.
Check out Travelling Tips and How to Use Chopsticks

Our next runner up is the squad from Badger Springs Middle School in Moreno Valley, California. They submitted a ton of awesome projects including in-depth screencasts and instructional videos. One of their projects was a continuation of their plan from the Planet Plan-it microproject last month, which is radical. Here are a few of our favorites: How to do a Rainbow Flick, How to Make a Battle Royale Map in Minecraft, and How to do a Javascript Takeover.
