Hey there!
Here’s a quick heads up about something I got in the mail this week.
Each year, the American Museum of Natural History runs a program where teens can participate in independent scientific research projects about the natural world. Entrants submit an essay about the project they’ve completed and then are entered into a nationwide contest to win “cash awards, publication of their essays on the Museum’s website, and expense-paid trips to attend an award ceremony” at the Museum in New York. You can either enter independently, or you can ask your science teacher if s/he is participating in the program this year.
If you’re interested in science, check out their website and get more information. There is also a poster up in the Young Adult section of the library with the web address and the deadline info. Entries are due by March 2, 2009.
Seriously. Science rocks. It was always one of my favorite subjects in school. :)
