Do you LOVE nerding out while listening to Science Friday?! If so, you should totally check out their Weekly Virtual Trivia Nights!!! Join in every week for the Science Friday Virtual Trivia Nights! SciFri Trivia is a weekly gathering that’s part science-y facts, part dance party, and part pop culture romp—and it’s for anyone looking to bring together teams (or bravely play solo) to win ultimate bragging rights.
It’s not all science (or Science Friday) trivia, but let’s just say it wouldn’t hurt to listen to last week’s SciFri radio show. You might even catch a glimpse of recognizable Science Friday staff member! 😉 THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: Snakes!

THE CHALLENGE
You get it. You’ve grasped an important scientific theory, concept or principle. Now can you share your insight? An inventive video can get across complex material that would take pages of text to communicate. To take part in the Breakthrough Junior Challenge, create a short video (1:30 – one minute and thirty seconds max) to explain a big idea in one of these fields:
The videos will be judged according to the following criteria:
Joint Science Education ProjectThe Joint Science Education Project (JSEP) is an international collaboration between Greenland, the United States, and Denmark to educate and train the next generation of polar and STEM professionals. Since its initiation during the International Polar Year in 2007, high school students and teachers from the three countries work together during a 3-week field course in Greenland to study polar environments and the human dimensions of rapid Arctic change. Students practice scientific and engineering methods in a cross cultural outdoor classroom with mentoring from international teachers and scientists. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has prevented the U.S. team from safely traveling to Greenland. Instead, we have designed a hybrid remote and in-person experience with U.S. students participating remotely and students from Greenland and Denmark participating in JSEP from Kangerlussuaq, Greenland.

Your film can take any form you like: animation, talking head, documentary, dramatic reconstruction, whatever. It’s worth keeping in mind that video is a dynamic visual medium – using diagrams, simulations, physical demonstrations etc. is a lot more effective than standing in front of a blackboard talking. The videos will be judged according to the following criteria:
WHO CAN ENTER? Anyone between the ages of 13-18. SUBMISSION DEADLINE: You must submit your application and video no later than June 25, 2021 at 11:59 PM Pacific Daylight Time (West Coast USA). Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of a scientist is like? The Denver Museum of Nature and Science's Teen Science Scholar Program provides an opportunity for you to experience the life of a scientist by collaborating with museum scientists to conduct your own scientific research. Check it out!
