• Ideas to Impact Video Contest Entry Form

  • Launched in 2021, the Aspen Institute Science & Society Program, an initiative of Our Future Is Science (OFIS), connects high school students with scientist mentors, builds real-world skills, and supports them in creating projects that address challenges in their communities. Our Mission is to equip young people to apply science to real-world challenges in their communities through mentorship, applied learning, and leadership development.

    The OFIS Ideas to Impact Contest is for individuals ages 14-24 years and asks them to create video content about how they could use science to solve a problem in their community.
