Announcement Update for "I Want To Be A Scientist" Contest!

We are thrilled to announce that the deadline for the "I Want To Be A Scientist" contest has been extended to February 14th, 2025 (11:59 PM GMT+8). This decision was made to provide participants with more flexibility in light of several important factors:

 

1. School Schedules: We understand that balancing school commitments and exams can be challenging, so this extension will allow participants to manage their time more effectively.
2. Creative Enhancement: We want everyone to have the opportunity to refine their ideas and elevate the production quality of their videos.
3. Technical Challenges: Some participants have faced technical difficulties during the filming and editing process, and we hope the extra time will help resolve these issues.
4. Inclusivity: We aim to be as inclusive as possible, accommodating participants from diverse regions who may face different challenges in accessing resources like equipment and stable internet.
5. Holiday Season: With the holidays approaching, we recognize that many families will be busy or traveling, and we want to ensure everyone has ample time to complete their submissions.

The YouTube premiere of the videos will now take place on February 24th, 2025, at 10:00 AM (GMT+8). Tune in at https://www.youtube.com/@eduseedslearn6815 to watch the fantastic work of our participants!
