The Walt Disney Studios along with XPRIZE and Disney Citizenship challenge young innovators nationwide. Inspired by the upcoming Disney movie “Tomorrowland,” beginning April 22, 2015, kids aged 8 to 17 are invited to imagine themselves in the future and report back through stories, imagery or video about a new invention or innovation they find – how it works and what impact it would have on the future.
Six winners will be chosen in June for a once in a lifetime mentor-ship opportunity with a leader in their area of interest and also receive a $3,000 check, a 3D Printer from 3D Systems, and paid registration for FIRST® LEGO® League for the competition season 2015-2016 in the U.S.
“‘Tomorrowland’ has always been a place of possibility in our parks and for the creative team behind our new film,” said Sean Bailey, President, Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production. “The future will be steered by the imaginations of our young people, and Disney is thrilled to work with XPRIZE to encourage and inspire the next generation of thinkers and dreamers to build the future they imagine is possible.”
The challenge is divided into two groups: Junior Division (8-12 years old), and Senior Division (13–17 years old).
Follow the link XPRIZEchallenge.org/CreateTomorrowland for the Official Rules and details about the Challenge and don’t forget to have an adult sign the permission forms. Official registration and submission period starts April 22, 2015, and runs through May 17, 2015.
A panel of judges will evaluate and score all the submissions based on innovation, presentation and creativity and will chose six (6) winners.
