Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge for Middle Schoolers @DE3MYSC – Plus #Giveaway

Do you have children in grades 5 – 8?

If you do, be sure to encourage them to enter the nation’s premier science competition for middle school students, the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge.

Ten finalists will be selected to compete in the challenge and the winner will receive a $25,000 prize and the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist”!

Last year’s winner was Sahil Doshi…

Sahil Doshi

This challenge targets middle school students in the critical years before their natural interest in science might start to fade. Students are encouraged to “explore scientific concepts, apply these concepts to everyday life and creatively communicate their findings.”

A Unique Science Competition

An exciting difference between the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge and other science competitions is that each of the ten finalists will be paired with a 3M scientist mentor. The role of the mentor is to be a guide to the finalist as he or she creates an innovation to present to a panel of judges at the final competition at the 3M Innovation Center in October.

How to Enter

Entering is simple…

Your student needs to record a 1-2 minute video sharing the science behind a possible solution to an everyday problem. Then just upload the video at www.YoungScientistChallenge.com.

Entries are being accepted now through April 21, 2015.

U.S. students in grades 5-8 at the time of entry are eligible to compete.

Competition Timeline

    • April 21st – Video Entry Deadline
      Students must have submitted their 1-2 minute video communicating the science behind a possible solution for an everyday problem to the website by April 21st, 2015.
    • June/July – Ten Finalists Announced
      The finalists will be announced and have an exclusive opportunity to work directly with a 3M scientist during a summer mentorship program. During this time, they will be challenged to create an innovation which solves a problem in society. State Merit Winners are also announced at this time.
    • October – Final competition at the 3M Innovation Center
      The finalists will demonstrate their scientific innovation and creativity in a series of challenges at the 3M Innovation Center in St. Paul, MN.

A Phenomenal Prize

The winner will receive $25,000 and the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist.”

Past Challenge winners have gone on to speak in front of members of Congress, work with the nation’s top scientists, participate in the White House Science Fair, meet the President and pursue academic careers in the sciences.

    Can I just say what a relief to find somebody who genuinely understands what they’re talking about on the net.
    You certainly realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important.
    More people really need to read this and understand this side of the story.
    It’s surprising you’re not more popular since you most certainly have the gift.

    When getting rid of drain clogs, avoid using chemical cleaners.
    Most of the time, when the topic is all about wastewater and sewage, the image people often get is that of bad
    smells and all that grime. Tiny video cameras are sometimes used to
    probe intricate pipes to pinpoint hidden leaks and problems.

    The entire effect of these rugs to a room should be considered when purchasing one.
    Reed beds present sludge dewatering by plant consumption, evapotranspiration, and drainage.
    Many of the Earthships have propane tanks for cooking and a
    backup hot water supply; these are the only
    utility bills.

    You actually make it appear really easy together with your presentation however I find this matter to be really something that I feel
    I’d never understand. It seems too complex and extremely huge
    for me. I’m looking ahead to your next put up, I’ll attempt to get the cling of it!
