Friday, May 13, 2016 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Three experts judge ten young scientists as they spin tall-but-true tales of climate change, a cure for cancer, the search for life elsewhere, and much more - in 3 powerpoint-free minutes each!
And while the judges deliberate, we'll be treated to stories about alien life…on and beyond Earth by Andrew Steele of the Carnegie Institution for Science.
Come cheer on these brave souls – vote for your favorite – and journey with them to the cutting edge of exploring Earth and beyond!
Reception to follow the main event. Find more information about the finalists and program here.
