Young Scientist Challenge!
Click here for more information
Do your students have what it takes to be America’s Top Young Scientist? Or are you going to be the DEN's Science Teacher of the Year? We're looking for a few great students and teachers to inspire us with their enthusiasm for science, so show us what you've got! Create a short (1-2 min.) video about one of this year's scientific topics and YOU could win a trip to Washington, DC to compete in the YSC finals.
It's far easier to enter than you might think, and ten lucky finalists will win an all-expenses paid trip to DC for the finals!
There is also a teacher component for the first time this year. Beginning March 1, science teachers who are members of the Discovery Educator Network (DEN) are invited to enter. Becoming a member of the DEN is easy. Registration is free and only takes a few minutes. In late summer 2008, judges will select the five teachers who will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, DC, for the competition finals. Teacher finalists will compete in a series of individual and team challenges in front of a live audience. At the end of the competition, judges will award the top teacher a special prize, and the title of "DEN's Science Teacher of the Year".
