Do your students love science and have an interest in filmmaking?

How to participate

Get your students (or kids if you’re looking for a fun activity to do at home) to use the power of film to explain a STEM concept they have recently learnt about, tell a story about how science affects their lives, or show how science can solve real-world problems!

Students can create their film as an exciting final project in the last few weeks of term. SCINEMA Junior also makes a great summer holiday activity and is a great project for science clubs or groups.

The prize

The winning film, as well as our curated favourite entries, are screened to thousands of people across the country during National Science Week!

The winning filmmaker will also walk away with an Instagram-worthy SCINEMA trophy!
