Check out a few examples of NPR's science videos on the playlist above to get a feel for how we do it.
NPR is looking for your take on science. Whether it's video, photography, animation or a finger-puppet show, we want you to bring the abstract to life.
Forget the overhead projectors and old textbooks — unless you can add the sparkle. Show us your creativity, beauty, fun, cleverness, curiosity, joy. Even weirdness, if it works.
Dazzle us.
If we like your work, we'll post it on NPR.org for millions to see, making you part of NPR's new look.
How It Works
We give you a topic, a length and a deadline, and you post your take through our submission form. NPR editors will review all entries, selecting the most intriguing to feature on our site and on our YouTube channel.
The first challenge: tell us a story about time. It can be 30 seconds to three minutes long. Take a look at our YouTube video playlist to get a sense of our style.
