Duracell and the National Science Teachers Association seek 6-12 grade students nationwide to participate in the 18th annual Duracell/NSTA Invention Challenge. The millennium Challenge will reward 100 entries with $160,000 in savings bonds.
To enter, students must design and build a battery-powered device and submit an official entry form, essay, wiring diagram and photos of the invention by January 12. Entry forms are available by calling the NSTA at 1-888-255-4242 or on the world wide web at http://www.msta.org/programs/duracell.shtml and at http://www.duracell.com/Fun_Learning/index.html.
All 6-12 grade students who are US residents and 21 years of age or younger are eligible, and may enter as individuals or in pairs. Entries are judged in two categories: grades 6-9 and grades 10-12.
In each category, there is a first place $20,000 savings bond, two second place $10,000 savings bonds, five third place $3,000 savings bonds, 12 fourth place $1,000 savings bonds, and 30 fifth place $500 savings bonds. In all, 100 inventions will be rewarded with savings bonds, and every student who enters will receive a gift and a certificate of participation. The 100 teachers who sponsor 1st-5th place winners will also receive gifts.
