2010 Collegiate Science Journalist Competition

An important goal of the Collegiate Inventors Competition is to stimulate public interest in the technology and innovation currently being developed for the common good. As a result, this year’s Competition will feature the Collegiate Science Journalist Competition (CSJC), designed to recognize the importance of science and technology journalism and to honor exceptional students who are planning careers in science and technology reporting.

Each of this year’s competing journalists will produce written and video stories on a Collegiate Inventors Competition finalist which will be evaluated by a panel of science and technology journalists representing established media outlets. The student journalists will attend Competition events in the Washington, D.C. area, including a dinner on October 26th to announce the winners of the CSJC.
