The Young Scientist Challenge is open to all 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders nationwide. Students will be challenged to create a one- to two-minute video about a specific scientific concept, which they will select from a list of concepts provided by the Young Scientist Challenge judges. All concepts will relate to the 2008 Young Scientist Challenge theme, "The Science of Space." Each entry must demonstrate the student's understanding of the scientific concept explained and his or her comfort level discussing science in general.The competition is open for entries between now and June 15, 2008.
Finalists will be judged on their communication and scientific problem solving skills. At the end of the competition, America's Top Young Scientist will be awarded a $50,000 savings bond (valued at $25,000 USD). Other finalists will receive secondary prizes.
