2012 Flame Challenge Prize Announcement

140123 The 2012 Cool Jobs program began with actor, author, and director Alan Alda hosting The Flame Challenge Prize Announcement. The contest, conceived by Alda and Stony Brook University’s Center for Communicating Science, called on scientists worldwide to give their best explanation of how a flame works—but in a way that makes sense to a kid. The winner was chosen by hundreds of 11-year olds around the country.
