U.S./Canada K-12 Teachers: Deadline for Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision Science Competition is 10 February
U.S./Canada K-12 Teachers: The Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision science competition encourages Kâ12 students to imagine what technology might be like in the future while learning the scientific process in an engaging, hands-on way. The deadline for submissions 10 February.
The competition is open to students enrolled in public, private, or home schools in the United States and Canada.
The ExploraVision competition for K-12 students engages the next generation in real world problem solving with a strong emphasis on STEM. ExploraVision challenges students envision and communicate new technology 20 years in the future through collaborative brainstorming and research of current science and technology.
ExploraVision is a science competition that goes beyond the typical student science competition and into what it takes to bring ideas to reality. A teacher will sponsor and lead his/her students as they work in groups of 2 â 4 to simulate real research and development. A teacher will guide his or her students as they pick a current technology, research it, envision what it might look like in 20 years, and describe the development steps, pros & cons, and obstacles. Past winners have envisioned technologies ranging from a hand-held food allergen detector to a new device to help people who have lost limbs regain movement in real time.

Projects must be received online at Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision by 11:59 p.m. EST, 10 February 2020. Any questions, please contact exploravision@nsta.org.
