StudentCam is C-SPAN's annual national video documentary competition that encourages students to think critically about issues that affect our communities and our nation. This year students in grades 6-12 were asked to create a short (5-6 minute) video documentary on a topic related to the competition theme, "What's Your Vision in 2020? Explore the issue you most want presidential candidates to address during the campaign."
9th grade students Kyra Kawamura & Alexa Bryson from Long Beach Polytechnic High School in California won 2nd Prize in the High School West division for their documentary on student debt and free college tuition, "Opportunity for All".
