BreakThrough Junior Challenge Scholarship

WELCOME TO THIS YEAR’S
BREAKTHROUGH JUNIOR 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 (the “Challenge”), create a short video (3:00 minutes max) to explain a big idea in one of these fields:

• Physics
• Mathematics
• Life Sciences
• COVID-19

Explain a big scientific idea in Physics, Life Sciences or Mathematics with a short video.

You will have until June 25, 2020 at 11:59 PM PDT to submit your video (3:00 minutes max).

You can take part in this year’s Challenge as long as you’re:

• 13 or older by 12:01 AM PDT on April 1, 2020
• Not older than 18 (not yet 19) as of 11:59 PM PDT on October 1, 2020

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:

• Engagement
• Illumination
• Creativity
• Difficulty
