Video Challenge for High School Students
An annual competition held 2014-2023
For 10 years, PDB-101 has hosted a Video Challenge that demonstrated how high school students are excellent science communicators. Teams from across the United States created videos that using tremendous creativity and many storytelling approaches to communicate how PDB structures help our understanding of HIV, Diabetes, Anti-microbial Resistance, Opioids, and Cancer.
Since the inaugural event in 2014, 376 videos have been created by more than one thousand high school students.
The videos were reviewed by expert judges. Click on theJudges link below to see the criteria for each year. A winner and two runner-ups were selected each year. In addition, the general public voted for the Viewer's Choice Award.
Many thanks to the expert judges, students, teachers, parents, and voters who made this exciting competition happen for so many years.

About PDB-101
Researchers around the globe make 3D structures freely available from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive. PDB-101 training materials help graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and researchers use PDB data and RCSB PDB tools. Outreach content demonstrate how PDB data impact fundamental biology, biomedicine, bioengineering/biotechnology, and energy sciences in 3D by a multidisciplinary user community. Education Materials provide lessons and activities for teaching and learning.
PDB-101 is developed by theRCSB PDB.
RCSB PDB Core Operations are funded by theU.S. National Science Foundation (DBI-2321666), theUS Department of Energy (DE-SC0019749), and theNational Cancer Institute,National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, andNational Institute of General Medical Sciences of theNational Institutes of Health under grant R01GM157729.
