Extended Deadline: August 31, 2010. Level: Grades K-12.

The deadline for the Kavli Science Video Contest has been extended to August 31, 2010!

Students K-12 are invited to enter the 2010 USA Science & Engineering Festival Kavli Science Video Contest with videos that are creative, surprising, and “contagious,” capable of spreading science enthusiasm to others. Prizes include a screening on the National Mall, money  and possibly even a trip to the Science Expo in Washington D.C.

Videos might explore a scientific concept, show us the wonders of nature, give us a glimpse into the future, show us what scientific discovery has done for us in the past or will do for us in the future, introduce us to a great scientist or engineer, tell us why you think science is so cool or simply show us why we should care about science and/or engineering.
