2015 STEM Video Competition
Every day a light goes on in a young person's head as they grasp new concepts in science, mathematics, engineering and technology, all because an afterschool or summer learning program has created a hands-on experience where interests are sparked and passions are fueled. Now is the time to tell that story.
STEM Uncovered is a national video competition in which kids can creatively communicate what they love about their afterschool and summer STEM learning programs and how it inspires their future plans.
Afterschool and summer learning programs are asked to create a short (three minute) video highlighting how they support innovative activities and help their students in identifying with STEM careers. Click here to see other competition rules.
Shine the spotlight on why your program uncovers STEM learning and share how your students are accelerating in this field!
6 winning videos will be announced, with each receiving recognition at a national STEM Summit and $1,000 –
- 3 videos from school-year afterschool programs (deadline: June 15)
- 3 videos from summer programs (deadline: August 1)
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THE 2015 STEM VIDEO COMPETITION. WE WILL ANNOUNCE THE WINNING VIDEOS ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2015 AT THE 2015 AFTERSCHOOL STEM SUMMIT.
