If you selected the Thorpe Studio Art Challenge or the Leo Labs Engineering Challenge as electives, you’ll need a way to upload photos of your work each week in order to get credit. We recommend you have an adult help you with this portion of the challenge. There are a few ways to do this:

 

  • Use a smartphone camera and Instagram:

1. Using your smartphone camera, snap a photo of yourself with your creation

2. Upload the picture to your Instagram account. Note – you must be sharing the image publicly. If your account is set to private, you’ll need another way to upload your photos. Label your picture #BrainChase

dots3. Find the URL for the photo by tapping the three dots dots below the post (the dots are horizontal on iOS, vertical on Android). Then select “Copy Share URL.”

4. Now use the browser on your smartphone to open Brain Chase and navigate to your Student Dashboard. Find the text field on your Art or Engineering page.

5. Find the text field on your Art or Engineering page, and click on it. Select “Paste URL.” That’s it! Then write a few words about your experience in the larger text box, and click SUBMIT

3. Use your computer or tablet to access the Instagram post. Copy the URL from your browser

4. Paste the URL into the text field on the Brain Chase Art or Engineering page. Write a few words to tell us about your project, and click SUBMIT

 

  • Use a smartphone camera or digital camera that can connect to a computer:

1. Use a smartphone camera or digital camera to take a picture of yourself with your creation

2. Upload your photos to your computer via USB cable  – OR –  using your phone’s email or text feature, send the picture to an email account on the computer you’re using. Then download your picture to the computer.

3. Click the Browse button on your Brain Chase Art or Engineering page, and find your photograph

4. Type a few words about your creation, and then click SUBMIT

 

  • Use an iPad or tablet camera:

Remember, if our scientists and artists can’t see your work, they’ll have trouble giving you the feedback you deserve. So make sure to take good pictures. Here are some tips:

  • Make sure your photo is well lit
  • Try to get the creation in focus
  • We’d love to see you in the picture, but if that won’t let us see the detail of your work, it’s okay to focus on the creation itself
  • Take the picture a few different ways, then upload the best one
