How to enter the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge.

The 2013 competition is now closed

Judges are reviewing the 2013 video submissions and will choose 10 finalists and up to 51 merit winners in mid-June: one from each state and the District of Columbia.

Exclusive Summer Mentorship Program

The 10 finalists will be paired with 3M scientists to complete a summer assignment having to do with innovation. Together they will work virtually through pre-assigned objectives with resources and support provided by Discovery Education and 3M.

Final Event at 3M Headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota - October 6-8, 2013

In the fall, 10 finalists will receive a trip to St. Paul, Minnesota, during which they will present their completed "innovation" to a panel of judges.

Finalists will be judged on their scientific problem solving and communication skills.
