The New York Times 4th Annual STEM Writing Contest invites students to choose an issue or question in science, technology, engineering, math, or health and then write an engaging explanation.
For this contest, The Learning Network invites you to bring the spirit of inquiry and discovery to finding a STEM-related question, concept or issue you’re interested in, and, in 500 words or fewer, explaining it to a general audience in a way that not only helps us understand, but also engages us and makes us see why it’s important.
The winning work will be published on The New York Times Learning Network.
The deadline for this contest is Wednesday, Feb. 15, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time.
Submit your entries using the submission form on the competition notification page.
