-- "WIRED SCIENCE" LAUNCHES CONTEST FOR SCIENCE-SAVVY TEENS 

 

"Wired Science," the fast-paced PBS science and technology series
produced by KCET/Los Angeles in association with WIRED magazine, has
announced the "Wired Science Student Video Contest." The online video
competition calls for student innovators and experimenters in grades
9-12 to explore a scientific principle and create a short video.
Anything science-related will qualify -- from a math formula or a
chemistry equation to a law of physics. In the spirit of the show,
judges are looking for creativity, originality, and humor. Students are
reminded to be safe and may enlist the help of their teachers. Three
cash prizes will be awarded, with first place winning $2,000.
Registration for the contest closes March 15, 2008; submissions will be
accepted through April 1. For complete details, please visit
www.PBS.org/wiredscience <http://www.pbs.org/wiredscience> . 

 

The site also offers streaming video of the entire first season;
web-original content, including videos, photos, and essays; an extensive
educational component for educators and students, showcasing featured
teachers and students; and Correlations, a group blog composed of
scientists, show hosts, and producers.
