3M Reveals 2024 Young Scientist Contest State Merit Winners

3M, in partnership with Discovery Education, has announced the 26 state merit winners and four honorable mention recipients in the 2024 3M Young Scientist Challenge.

The 17th-annual middle school competition called for students in grades 5-8 to submit a video demonstrating an innovation that could provide a solution to an everyday problem. A panel of judges selected the 26 state merit winners and four honorable mention recipients based on their communication skills and passion for science and innovation. Each state merit winner receives special recognition on the Young Scientist Challenge website, along with a prize pack.

"The projects submitted to the 3M Young Scientist Challenge showcase how science is critical to driving progress and delivering sustainable solutions," said Torie Clarke, 3M executive vice president and chief public affairs officer. "All of these students are already making the world a better place through science, and we applaud each for their innovations."
