2019
A Powerful Alliance
2020~2022
Unwavering Spirit Amidst the Pandemic
To nurture science communicators and disseminators capable of sharing their scientific inquiry process, expressing and creating narratives. By fostering a passion for science among elementary, junior high, senior high, vocational high school students, teachers (including pre-service teachers), college students, and the general public, this competition aims to increase the accessibility and enjoyment of science.
This competition is based on the spirit of scientific inquiry. We encourage participants to question everyday occurrences and phenomena, formulate hypotheses, collect and analyze data, test hypotheses, repeat experiments and discuss findings, reach conclusions, and apply their knowledge to new situations. Participants should present their findings through written reports and videos so that their peers can understand the scientific inquiry process.
