Entry Process
Congratulations! You're about to set off on a great adventure into science and technology.
Here's how it works:
To enter ExploraVision, students work in groups of two, three or four — simulating a real research and development (R&D) team. A teacher serves as team coach, and you can also choose an optional mentor.
- Each team selects a technology (or an aspect of a technology) that is present in and relevant to their lives
- First, the team explores what the technology does, how it works, and how, when and why it was invented
- Next, the team imagines and explores what that technology could be like 20 years from now
- Finally, each team prepares an in-depth report that conveys its vision to others (click here for step-by-step instructions)
Tips for selecting a topic:
- Look at the tools and technologies people use every day — it could be as simple as a pencil or as complex as a quantum computer
- Identify a problem that a current technology does not solve, then imagine possible solutions
