In the 2020 election, we saw record highs for voter turnout across the board, including youth turnout. The Science Rising Challenge is an invitation to everyone (students, scientists, and all community members) to keep that momentum going. Whether you’re new to civic engagement or a seasoned activist, this challenge is for you.
To complete the challenge, you must first ensure that you’re registered to vote if eligible.
Then complete any ONE of the following activities:
- Bring democracy into the (virtual) classroom
- Organize an online activity or event
- Elevate your voice: Write an op-ed
- Engage with a policymaker
Remember, even if you aren’t eligible to vote, you can still meaningfully participate in our democracy and complete the Science Rising Challenge.
Whether it’s educating your peers, inspiring others, or completing any one of the challenges above, there are many ways for you to have an impact.
