Posted in collaboration, gen Y, jumpcut, news by Derek Baird on the March 19th, 2008

WIRED Science and PBS are sponsoring a “WIRED Science Student Video Contest” that is open to all students in grades 9-12 (contest is also open to home school students).

This is an opportunity for students to work with their peers to create a video explaining a science concept, ideas on the future of science, or–well, anything else you think will help you snag the prize. Yes, there are prizes.

You can learn more about the contest, find the application form, along with all the details over on the WIRED Science Education page.

Don’t forget that Jumpcut has free, easy-to-use video editing tools. And if you need a refresher on copyright, be sure to check out CreativeCommons.

But hurry. Application and videos are due by April 1st, 2008. So hurry–grab that camera and get those creative juices flowing!
