[LM_NET] ExploraVision Science Competition

["McGinnis, John" <mcginnis@CERRITOS.EDU>]

Here's great opportunity for school librarians to collaborate with
science teachers! The National Science Teachers Association sponsors a
science competition called Exploravision and it requires research.
Success in this competition depends as much on students' skills in
school libraries as it does on their skills in the science labs.

 

About the competition:

The competition is free to enter and open to students in the U.S. and
Canada, K-12. Teams of students select a technology, research how it
works and why it was invented, and then project how that technology may
change in the future. They must then identify what breakthroughs are
required for their vision to become a reality and describe the positive
and negative consequences of their technology on society. Prizes include
four awards of $10,000, four awards of $5,000, twenty four laptops, etc.
