Individuals under the age of 18 (or the legal age of majority in the individual’s state of residence) must have consent from their parent or guardian to enter the Contest.
The creative essay assignment for the Contest ("Creative Assignment") is to answer the following 2 essay questions:
Describe a problem in the world that you would like to solve using STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) skills. This could be a local or global problem.
Why do you want to solve it?
In the film Hidden Figures, http://www.hiddenfigures.com, the women featured in the film are referred to as hidden figures as a result of those around them not appreciating or understanding the women’s talents.
Describe the ways in which you also might be considered a hidden figure? What unique talents do you possess that may not be fully appreciated by the world around you?
Entrant’s complete answer to the 2 essay questions above will constitute Entrant’s essay submission ("Essay Submission").
Each essay question will be subject to a 300 word limit.
Can meet at 101 Post Street in SF until 6PM. Afterwards, can meet at Starbucks on Stockton and Sutter or other convenient place with a wifi connection.
