Looking for a way to get kids excited about science homework? What if he or she had the chance to win $50,000 in U.S. Savings bonds?
Discovery Education and 3M are searching for “America’s Top Young Scientist” in the 2010 Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge, which will award one gifted middle school student $50,000 in U.S. Savings Bonds (a $25,000 cash value).
Research shows that science test scores start to drop in middle school when interest in science begins to wane. In an effort to foster the development of our nation’s next generation of scientists, Discovery Education and 3M are rewarding students who are passionate about science.
From now until May 27, 2010, middle school students can enter by submitting a short video that communicates the science behind a possible solution for different safety and security issues present in everyday life, like food safety or sun protection. Ten finalists will be selected to receive an all-expense paid trip to New York City to compete in the final challenge in October. Details; CLICK HERE
