I love a good idea that really gets kids thinking, and I know that a lot of you do too. Big Hero 6, a Disney movie opening on November 7, has teamed up with XPrize, to offer a contest for children between the ages of 8 - 17. It is designed to really get those creative juices flowing. Entrants need to think about, and then describe in a video, how they would use S.T.E.A.M. (science, technology, engineering, arts, or mathematics) to solve a problem, big or small, that effects their school, community, or even the world.
SIX winners will win a trip to LA to walk the Red Carpet at the Hollywood Premiere of the movie. They will also get a behind-the-scenes tour of Walt Disney Animation Studios.
The entry form and rules can be found here: https://www.xprizechallenge.org
Good luck to all who enter!
The movie looks really cute. I'm bummed it's coming out the same day as Interstellar. Will just have to make it a double feature that weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to get their minds working
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Anything to help kids excel is more than okay.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
A great idea indeed. The movie looks really good too
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! My oldest is science obsessed right now, he would love this :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the trailers early in the summer, I thought this movie would never be successful. But now the trailers are revealing more, and I am intrigued. We will check it out with our gr-kids.
ReplyDeleteMy son Mica would like this. He says he wants to be an inventor when he grows up. He's a thinker, and loves all the subjects that you mentioned - except math.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea! I would've loved entering something like that when I was a kid. The movie looks like fun, too.
ReplyDeleteElliott is really looking forward to this movie. I just hope it's still playing in theaters when we get home from vacation. It comes out while we are in Missouri, the day before we leave for Florida, so we won't have time to see it until after Thanksgiving, if it's still playing then.
ReplyDeleteMy kids are dying to see this movie. It looks super cute.
ReplyDeleteOoh I love Disney! The steam comp sounds very clever.
