Eye On The Future Video Contest for Grades 9-12!
Calling all Division C participants (Grades 9-12)!
Great scientists need to be great communicators - to get support and funding for their work, to educate the public on important issues, and to persuade other scientists to join their cause. As a Science Olympiad participant, you're already becoming a great scientist. Now's your opportunity to perfect those communication skills with a chance to win some great prizes. CONTEST DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO MAY 1, 2022!
The Eye on the Future Video Contest is sponsored by the National Eye Institute, a part of the National Institutes of Health.
Students in Grades 9-12 are invited to work individually or as a small team (up to 3 team members) to create a video about your vision and passion for science. Choose a prompt and plan out a 30 second to 3-minute video.
