Planet SciCast Promotes Short Films About Practical Science
Submitted Monday, 23 November, 2009 - 11:41
Planet SciCast has been set up by NESTA in the UK and offers a variety of different resources to teachers and students who are interested in creating their own short films in the science arena.
SciCast is made up of four elements:
- An annual competition to get children, young people, teachers, parents, science communicators and science/engineering/technology professionals all making short films about practical science.
- A web resource of all those movies (plus write-ups of the activities, experiments and demonstrations), for the use and amusement of everyone involved, and particularly for schools.
- A platform to help other science engagement projects share their work with a wider audience.
- A discussion about whose responsibility it is to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers with entertaining science-related material.
