-
Document your creation! Take a portrait photo or video of your newly customized Cubby. (Hint: videos will give us more information to judge by). Get creative with the scenery!
- Create a user account on Creatubbles.com, upload your documentation from #2 (photos or videos), give it a title and a short write up. Feel free to share the back story of your creation, add a funny name, or make a note about how you program it in the description.

REGISTER yourself at our new Teach Portal. Without the registration, we won't know whose creation was submitted to the gallery! Enter your Creatubbles profile link from #3 in the registration form. Once you're able to login to our portal, you can add as many pictures/video to the gallery as you want.
- Last step, Get some bubbles! Bubbles in Creatubbles are the same as Likes in Facebook - get friends to bubbles your creation! The top 5 highest bubbles will become our finalists. The earlier you submit, the more time you have to get bubbles. We will also tweet each submission periodically to help boost your bubbles.
