Marvel Launches Program for Girl Scientists

Marvel is partnering with the National Academy of Sciences’ Science & Entertainment Exchange for a program in which girls ages 15-18 and in grades 10-12 can submit projects they believe can change the world. Participants will create a short video that demonstrates their idea and explains its far-reaching potential.

Five finalists will travel to California to present their projects to a panel of experts and be invited to hit the red carpet at the Civil War world premiere at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre on April 12, 2016. They'll also tour Walt Disney Studios and receive a $500 saving account from Synchrony Bank.

Entries will be accepted through March 26, 2016.
