DooDads Hiatus!In our continuing effort to improve the Doodad competition, and reach even more students, the Doodad coordinators have decided to postpone the competition for the 2017-2018 school year. During our hiatus, we intend to conduct critical activities, such as: • Survey art instructors to determine what “doodad” objects and themes will most resonate with, and engage their students.• Develop curricula to help teachers connect the competition to state standards, so that it can be better integrated into classroom lessons.• Reach out to other teaching disciplines, such as science, to emphasize recycling and environmental stewardship.• Research methods to enhance marketing to teachers, students, the business community, and the general public.We hope that our hiatus will been seen as a valuable investment of time and energy to improve the Doodad competition, and ask for your continued support when we return for the 2018-2019 school year.The Doodad coordinators want to thank past participants, teachers, and sponsors for your enthusiastic support of the Re-Purposed Doodad Sculpture Competition over the past six years. Your encouragement has been crucial to the successful development of this competition, and the positive impact it’s had on the lives of so many children.In the meantime, if you have any questions, or want to share your thoughts about how to improve the competition, please contact us through the Doodad website http://doodadoftampa.org/ . ...
