Dress It Up: Stuck at Prom Style is specifically designed to give my students a "leg up" on their competition. The Stuck at Prom Scholarship Program is available to high school students with creativity. Applicants must create and wear an outfit completely made of Duck brand duct tape to a school prom. Since the pandemic, several parents have lost their jobs and families are looking for a way to find money for their children's post-secondary education. Duck Tape brand's “Stuck at Prom” scholarship contest awarded $10,000 each to dress and tuxedo category winners. I want my students to have the opportunity to practice in 8th grade what they may be able to accomplish in high school through this contest. Additionally, through this project, I am introducing my students to fashion design, costume creation, as well as a myriad of various occupations that will not only help them find their strengths and weaknesses in a job market but also within their own home.
