Show off your demonstration skills!
Make a video to showcase how ceramic and glass science is so awesome.
Science is involved in every aspect of daily life, and it’s important that we, as scientists, are able to accurately and succinctly demonstrate how the general public is impacted by this. In ceramic and glass science, we often attempt to educate the public through community outreach events that perform demonstrations of the scientific concepts that govern our world.
This virtual competition, organized by the ACerS President's Council of Student Advisors (PCSA), is designed to be another outlet to help educate the public while advertising the community outreach that you and your university/group already perform. And, you can receive the proper recognition for doing so.
Gather a group - or - go solo
Get a group of fellow students together and submit a video conducting a ceramic and/or glass outreach demonstration.
Examples of student groups could be:
- Keramos student chapters,
- Material Advantage student chapters,
- University research groups, or
- Anybody you know that puts on ceramic or glass science demos
Or, you can go out on your own and submit a video individually. It's up to you!
