HIV Video Challenge Awards

06/16

For the second year in a row, the RCSB PDB invited high school students to create short videos that tell a story about HIV/AIDS. Students were tasked to include a visualization/animation of two or more molecular structures from the PDB, and include a message about the importance of testing.

2015 Video Challenge Awards

Our panel of expert judges scored the videos based on scientific content (40%), creativity (20%), overall impact (10%), originality of concept (10%), entertainment value (10%), and production quality (10%).
