    ==Forwarding message starts here==

    The CogSci Mind Challenge is the Cognitive Science Society's latest initiative that challenges cognitive scientists to address key questions within the field, but for an audience of non-experts, particularly high school and early college students. Take part in the challenge for a chance to win $1,000 by submitting a video that communicates cognitive science in a vivid and engaging manner. Videos should uphold Cognitive Science's core values of interdisciplinary breadth, as well as inclusiveness.

    Your video should answer the question, "Can Machines Think?" The video should be appropriate for students unfamiliar with cognitive science and should be understandable by people who are in high school or early college. Videos should provide content that is both educational and engaging. Video content should reflect the interdisciplinary nature of Cognitive Science (which spans Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, Anthropology, Psychology, Education, Neuroscience, and Philosophy) and not be limited to a single discipline.

    ELIGIBILITY

    • The person submitting their video must be 18 years or older.
    • The video adheres to the submission requirements (see section below) and everyone appearing in the video signs a video release form.
    • The video must be your original creation and not published elsewhere, including published on the internet.
    • If a group submits, a single person must be indicated as the lead for communication purposes. In the event the submission wins, the award would be sent to the lead person.
    • Video answers the question: Can Machines Think?

    Deadline: November 1st at 11:59 pm EST

    There is no fee to enter the contest.
