Subject: Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge

 

Last month, the National Governor's Association announced its
partnership with the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge.
The YSC is the premier national science competition for students in
grades 5 through 8, designed to encourage the exploration of science
among America's youth and to promote the importance of science
communication. In July, a semi-finalist will be chosen from each state
and the District of Columbia.  

 

The deadline for students to submit their video entries to the
competition is Sunday and I wanted to let you know that we currently do
not have any entries from New Mexico.  We would like to remind teachers,
students and parents that the deadline of June 15 is approaching.  

 

I realize that schools are out, but thought your office may have an
email list or network over which you could distribute a reminder about
the competition.  We have just announced the addition of a new,
fantastic prize that will be awarded to one of the finalists which maybe
help generate some excitement.  I have included the details of that
prize below and also attached a fact sheet about the competition.

 

Space to Sea Adventure 
Hosted by the National Park Foundation 

On the National Parks Space to Sea Adventure, the winner will travel to
the beautiful Florida coast for a behind-the-scenes trip to Kennedy
Space Center and Canaveral National Seashore.  The trip will "blast off"
with a live viewing of a shuttle launch at Kennedy Space Center.  After
seeing the shuttle roar to space, the winner will take to the sea to
assist National Park Service biologists with sea turtle monitoring and
oyster reef restoration at Canaveral National Seashore.

 

Regards,

Liz
