Planet SciCast

15 Sep 2009 - 16 Apr 2010

SciCast is four things:

  • A 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.

SciCast is trying to build the world’s most entertaining science resource, by collecting contributions that are exciting, dynamic, repeatable, and plain fun. We like to recognise and celebrate our contributors, hence the annual SciCast Film Awards.

Each year, we honour the makers of our best films at a glittering awards ceremony. The shortlisted Nominees compete in a range of categories, with our fantastic panel of judges deciding who walks away with a coveted SciCast trophy, Amazon vouchers, and other goodies.
