We are excited to announce that in addition to the student challenge, 2008 will feature a teacher competition. Beginning March 1, science teachers who are members of the Discovery Educator Network (DEN) are invited to enter. Becoming a member of the DEN is easy. Registration is free and only takes a few minutes. To become a member, please click here. DEN teachers will be asked to submit a video entry, as outlined in the official rules and regulations.
In late summer 2008, judges will select the five teachers who will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, DC, for the competition finals. Teacher finalists will compete in a series of individual and team challenges in front of a live audience. At the end of the competition, judges will award the top teacher a special prize, and the title of "DEN's Science Teacher of the Year".
