Are you interested in a career in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics? Would you like the chance to work closely with a scientist and a friend to enter a contest with the chance of winning $1000 and recognition among scientists? If you answered yes to the questions above, YOU and a friend (any grade, any team, as long as he or she is in middle school) could look into this contest.

| CAN YOU KEEP CURIOSITY ALIVE??? |
If you are interested in this contest, read the email below. There is contact information for getting a sponsor. Also, keep me posted on how I can help you! Note that you must register by this Thursday!
Principal Rudolph,
I am an astrophysics and computer science student at UNC and the Public Outreach Coordinator for UNC Women in Physics. As one of our outreach projects we are providing sponsors for students who wish to compete in this year's What If Prize, a competition for middle school students aimed to inspire STEM involvement. Teams of two will submit an essay about their solutions for a certain scenario pertaining to the Mars Curiosity Rover (i.e. What would you do if the robotic arm was stuck in a stowed position? What would you envision as their final campaign for Curiosity?). The winning team will receive $1000 and significant recognition in the STEM community. Students must register by February 28th and must have an adult sponsor (which Carolina Women in Physics can provide). This is a fantastic opportunity for middle school students who wish to pursue studies in STEM fields. If possible, could you please notify your faculty of this opportunity so they can encourage students to participate?
Students who are interested and would like one of our brilliant ladies to sponsor them for the competition should send an email to carolinawip@gmail.com.
Thank you so much!
Best,
Hannah
