Helping Motivate Students in Science and Technology
Now in its 17th year, the Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision Awards program is one of the world’s largest K-12 student science competitions. Sponsored by Toshiba Corporation, the Toshiba America Group Companies, and the Toshiba America Foundation, the program is administered by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). ExploraVision is designed to help students discover the wonders of science and the world around them, and since its inception in 1992, over 246,000 students have participated. Student winners receive generous savings bonds and Toshiba products.
In ExploraVision, students choose a current technology and imagine what it could be like in 20 years. Student teams work with teachers and mentors to develop their ideas. The program has become a regular part of the science curriculum in many schools across North America, helping science teachers provide their students with a challenging and fun educational experience.
