Sleek Geeks Science Eureka Prize
The Sleek Geeks Science Eureka Prize is a film competition that encourages school students to communicate a scientific concept in a way that is accessible and entertaining. It is intended to support budding young scientists across the nation, who will be our future leaders in research, discovery and communication.
The 2-minute film must focus on a scientific concept, discovery, invention or your own scientific hypothesis – anything goes, but keep the science in the story, and keep the science real! This year's theme is - Above and Below.
Entries may be submitted by an individual student or a team of no more than six students.
Entries close Monday 14 April 2025.
You can find out more information and view the winner of the 2024 competition HERE.
