Okay. Full Disclosure – George Clooney is one of my favorite actors. But I promise that is not the reason I chose to mention the “Create Tomorrowland XPrize Challenge” on this blog even though George Clooney happens to be the star of the movie this contest is promoting.
I haven’t seen the movie, and I don’t know a lot about the contest, other than what can be read on the website. However, if you know a child between 8 and 17 years of age who has an inventive imagination, you may want to investigate this opportunity. The contest asks for videos, images, or stories that envision a beneficial invention that might exist in our future.
You can see specific entry guidelines here. Don’t forget to visit the “Idea Portal” for some real-world examples of people who are working to shape a better future for all of us.
Submissions are due by 5/17/15 – so don’t procrastinate! Who knows what life-saving ideas might be hibernating in the mind of a student, just waiting for the right circumstances to be revealed?
