HOW TO APPLY
Film a three–minute educational video of yourself explaining a STEM topic you're passionate about. To apply, you must be a high school senior or an undergraduate college student.. Your video should be:
A) A mini–lecture, not a personal statement. Pretend you're a lecturer speaking to a class. Teach us something.
B) Clear, creative, accurate, and a demonstration of your passion for the subject. We value novel, memorable approaches to topics. Your video doesn't need to be fancy or high–tech. Production value is not a factor.
C) Three minutes or less in length. Videos longer than this will not be considered. No exceptions!
D) About any STEM topic, not necessarily your field of study. Pick a topic that excites and fascinates you. We don't need to hear about the latest thing in science news (unless that's your jam).
E) Scientifically accurate. We encourage you to cite the sources used to research your topic. Ideally, this would be in a slide or frame at the end of your video. You can use any citation format you'd like.
F) Uploaded to YouTube and marked 'public.' No exceptions!
