Welcome to

The First Annual University of Maryland
Science/Engineering/Technology Video Competition

Supported by Apple

See Sci/Terp videos on YouTube!

This spring, undergraduate students at the University of Maryland entered the first Sci/Terp competition. They made videos that show what they research and study in their science, engineering and technology classes at Maryland. Winners were chosen by a panel of judges that included science journalists, a staff member of Kids Post, an Emmy-winning script writer for Discovery Channel and ninth grade science classes at Montgomery Blair High School.
