Khan Academy
Hi,
This is Sal Khan from Khan Academy, and I'm excited to share an opportunity for you to showcase your creativity and win a $250K scholarship. Are you a student between 13 and 18 who loves science and math? This is your chance to get creative! Enter the 2024 Breakthrough Junior Challenge by making a short, two-minute video explaining a cool science idea or mind-blowing math concept -- anything that sparks your curiosity.
One winner will receive a $250,000 college scholarship, their teacher will receive a $50,000 prize, and their school will get a new $100,000 science lab! The winner is also recognized every year at the Breakthrough Prize Ceremony.
Check out past winners to get inspired to create your own video.
Maryam, the 2020 winner, has advice for you:
“I just want to let you know it doesn't take a lot. I was working on a half-broken computer. I don't have any professional video-making abilities or software. The focus is on communication. And if you love science and want to share science, then nothing can stop you.”
Ready to show off your skills? The deadline to enter is June 25, 2024.
Good luck!
Sal Khan
