CONTEST DETAILS
 

1. Write a fictional short story inspired by the theme "Beyond Borders." Interpret the theme in any way that sparks your imagination - whether it's physical borders, personal boundaries, or the crossing of worlds. The word "bridge" must appear at least once in your story, but it does not have to center around the concept of a literal bridge.

2. Stories must be your original work which has not been published before or submitted previously as homework or a contest entry.

When you quote or refer to other people’s words or ideas, you must properly credit the source.

3. All currently enrolled GIST students (undergraduate, graduate, and international students) can participate.

4. If you have any questions or need help, feel free to contact an LEC instructor or check out this Guide. (The guide is provided only to help with the writing process, but you are not required to follow the example structures given). Also, check out these sample short stories for ideas and inspiration.

5. You are not allowed to copy and paste AI-generated content and represent it as your own work. Content from translation apps like Papago and Google Translate are often detected as AI generated content, so their use should be limited to individual words or phrases.

6. BE CREATIVE!

ESSAY DETAILS

  1. 3 pages minimum; 9 pages maximum
  2. Use double spacing. 12 point font.
  3. Students should not include their names in their entry, but should use their student number as their file title (e.g. 20245432.docx)
  4. Stories will be checked for plagiarism. Any students who plagiarize will be disqualified from this and future contests.  Using ChatGPT (or any other AI generated content) will also be considered cheating.

Attached File
Simply explain a scientific principle, concept, or idea to a general audience
 
 
  •   Who can enter? Currently enrolled GIST student who are on campus!
  •   When is the deadline? June 5th, 2024 (Wednesday) – Time flies so start soon!
  •   Where can I submit my video? https://forms.gle/x44iE1j62W9othqa7

The rules are simple: Create a short 3 to 5 minute video in English explaining a scientific principle, concept, or idea to a general audience that lacks a background in science.
Basically, think about how you would explain science to high school students or to your parents.

You are only allowed to use props or models in your video, but you cannot use PowerPoint, posters, charts, diagrams, or pictures. Basically, this contest was inspired by FameLab and tries to follow the same spirit by focusing on great presentation skills to explain science.
 
  •   English
  •   3 to 5 minutes .MP4 or .MOV video file
  •   720p or better (smaller than 1 GB) without any editing
  •   Name the file with your student number: 2XXX1234.MP4/.MOV
  •   Video submission (by June 5)https://forms.gle/x44iE1j62W9othqa7
  •   Winning videos will be featured on the LEC YouTube page
  •   Remember not to edit your video (mistakes are okay!)

* Note: Avoid plagiarism by not using other source materials... just make your own prop! 
 
* Tips: Try not to read in your video presentation (but referring to notes is perfectly okay), and pick a topic that you think the public should know more about and explain it to them like...
  •  Nobel Prize discoveries
  •  how mRNA vaccines work
  •  how large language models work for AI
  •  how to preserve battery life for smartphones
  •  how fermentation makes kimchee taste better
  •  or anything creative that you think is interesting!
 
 
* Contact: Office of Academic Planning, B-102/lec@gist.ac.kr 
 
We look forward to seeing your creative and engaging videos!
