 To New Mexico Public Libraries:
The NM Museum of Natural History and Science (Museum) and its Foundation have partnered together to bring to New Mexico a unique opportunity to experience the Museum's traveling exhibit "Brain - the Inside Story".  In conjunction with the exhibit, the Museum is inviting all students in grades 4-8 to participate in the video contest "Brainy Solutions for a Better Tomorrow". This is the 2nd Annual Video Contest organized by the Museum and attached is the information for the video contest.

The students are asked to prepare a short video describing their vision for a new invention or a new idea or method related to STEAM.  It can be a simple solution for a daily life problem (such as a machine that picks up clothes off the floor before mom gets mad) or it can be a solution towards global problem (such as helping bees, water supply etc.). There are no restrictions on the topic -- If they can think it, they can submit it.  The videos will be judged based on their organization and presentation skills, uniqueness and creativity.

Some additional information is attached.
