Science is happening in your backyard. Let’s tell the world about it.
The Mission: 50 States, 50 Creators, 50 Scientists, 50 Videos
Too many people think that great scientists only live in Massachusetts or California. But whether you know it or not, exceptional scientists live next door.
They’re battery researchers in Georgia and agricultural researchers in Kansas. They’re doctors in Pennsylvania, ecologists in Michigan, and rocket scientists in Alabama. There are so many exciting researchers and important discoveries happening in your neighborhood—and it’s time we help the world see them.
We are pleased to announce that 50x50: Science Across America is now recruiting fifty visionary creators—one from each state—for this groundbreaking YouTube project uncovering exceptional science in all corners of the country. Think this is you? APPLY NOW!
The Vision: Your State, Your Voice - PhD Not Required.
We want artists and musicians, gearheads and makers, explorers and creators of beauty. We want curious minds eager to discover how science and engineering shape their passions—and to meet the researchers behind it.
Here are examples of how creative 50×50 pairings can bring creators of all kinds together to profile incredible scientists:
Artists & Musicians: Interview an acoustic physicist designing the next generation of immersive acoustics.
Makers & Engineers: Collaborate with a materials scientist to stress-test a prototype or analyze the physics of a build.
Gearheads & Tech Reviewers: Profile an aerospace engineer testing next-gen propulsion in a wind tunnel.
Science Communicators: Get out of the studio and into the field with a researcher to capture the raw reality of discovery.
Lifestyle & Beauty Creators: Talk to a formulation chemist at a cosmetic company about the molecular science of products you use every day.
Explorers: Join a field biologist using high-tech sensors to track and protect local wildlife populations.
50x50’s aim in all things is the spirit of genuine inquiry, and the path is varied…
The Support: Join a community of exceptional creators, researchers, and funders, and receive a grant to fund your 50x50 production. Additionally, we have access to the best researchers in America, and we will open those doors for you.
The Series: You'll publish your video on your own channel as a part of a 50-day region-by-region rollout.
