The White House Student Film Festival was an event held by the White House on February 28, 2014. Students in Kindergarten through 12th Grade were able to submit short films about "why technology is so important, and how it will change the educational experience for kids in the future."[1] 16 videos were selected to be screened out of over 2,500 submitted videos.[2] Several celebrity guests were in attendance, including Kal Penn, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and Bill Nye.[3]

The 16 video selections were sorted into four categories: Young Visionaries, Future Innovators, World of Tomorrow, and Building Bridges.[4]
