Kavli Science Video Contest: Save the World through Science and Engineering

CALL FOR ENTRIES FOR THE KAVLI SCIENCE VIDEO CONTEST

The Kavli Foundation is challenging Grades 6-12 students across the world to brainstorm and share their ideas!

This year's central theme, or driving question, is how to "Save the World through Science and Engineering".

Grades 6-12 students make a short video ( :30 - :90) that shows how scientific discoveries and inventions can improve our lives and change our world, either right now or in the future.

Students compete for the chance to win $2000 (first prize) and a travel stipend to Washington DC to attend the festival.

The winners are also honored in an awards ceremony, hosted by Bill Nye, as part of the festival.

Entries are due no later than March 21, 2012.
