The 2011 competition is now closed. Sign up to receive
information about the 2012 competition. To enter, youâ€™ll need
to submit a 1-2 minute video on one of the current year's entry
topics related to the science of everyday life. The competition
is open to students enrolled in 5th through 8th grade in the
U.S. There are lots of ways to get a camera. Did you know that
many cell phones have cameras in them? Digital cameras are also
good ways to make a short movie. If you don't have access to
either, you can check with your teacher, school media center, or
local Public Library. The video competition is judged by a field
of experts in science and communication including former
teachers, scientists, and representatives from leading science
organizations. You will be contacted via phone/ email in late
May if you are selected as a Finalist. State Merit winners will
be notified in mid June. Finalists will receive a summer
assignment to develop an invention or innovation, to be
completed under the mentorship of a 3M
