Transcript:

Welcome to The Technology Teacher podcast, episode number 20.

I'm your host, Ron Kroetz, technology education teacher at El Cerrito Middle School in Corona, CA.

On a recent episode of Mythbusters, on the Discovery Channel, they had the winners of the 3M Young Scientist competition on the show.  It was a pretty cool episode where the kids helped the Mythbusters bust "green" myths.  Well, they're doing it again.  Discovery Education and 3M are holding a new competition to find great young scientists.  Students must be in grades 5 through 8 and must submit a video entry online by June 15, 2008.  The first place winner gets a $50,000 U.S. Savings bond while the kids that place 2nd through 10th each get a $1000 savings bond.  All finalists will have the opportunity to appear on television, presumebly on Mythbusters, but, maybe another Discovery Channel show.

This is a really cool contest that I encourage you to get involved in.  For more information, check out Techteacherlive.com
