Planet SciCast Promotes Short Films About Practical Science

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.
