Sal Khan explains the Breakthrough Junior Challenge

To kick off season nine of Lab Out Loud, co-hosts Brian Bartel and Dale Basler welcome Sal Khan to Lab Out Loud.  As founder of The Khan Academy, Sal is encouraging students age 13-18 to submit a 10-minute video to the Breakthrough Junior Challenge.  Presented by The Breakthrough Prize and The Khan Academy, The Breakthrough Junior Challenge is currently seeking innovative videos from students that explain a challenging concept or theory of mathematics, life sciences, or physics.  The winner will earn a $250,000 scholarship, a $50,000 education grant for the winner's teacher, and a $100,000 cutting-edge science lab designed for the winner’s school.  Do you have an idea for a submission?  Listen to the show to hear more about the competition and how students might create a video to open up everyone's mind.  But hurry - video submissions will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Oct. 7!
