Breakthrough Junior Challenge with Khan Academy


In partnership with the Khan Academy, the Breakthrough Prize 
has launched an annual global competition for high school 
science and math students to inspire creative thinking about 
fundamental concepts in the natural sciences and 
mathematics.

The competition is called the Breakthrough Junior Challenge, 
and it invites students ages 13 to 18 to create original 
videos that bring to life a concept or theory in the life 
sciences, physics or mathematics. The submissions will be 
judged on the student’s ability to communicate complex 
scientific ideas in the most engaging, illuminating, and 
imaginative ways. 

One winner will be recognized and will be awarded a $250,000 
educational prize. The science teacher who inspired the 
winning student will win $50,000, and the winner’s school 
will receive a state-of-the art science lab valued at 
$100,000, designed in partnership with Cold Spring Harbor 
Laboratory

The Breakthrough Junior Challenge winner will also be 
invited to the Breakthrough Prize in November, and the 
student and his or her teacher will be announced during the 
live, nationally televised show, broadcast in the US by 
National Geographic Channel on Sunday, November 8 at 7.00pm 
PT, 10.00pm ET, and rebroadcast globally via National 
Geographic and the Fox Cable Networks.

As we are hoping to reach as many young science enthusiasts 
as we can, please feel free to send this information to any 
organizations or schools that reach high school students, 
teachers or young scientists. Note that the contest runs on 
a pretty tight timeframe: the deadline for submissions is 
October 7, 2015.
