a Y= In Our Lives Explore A Better Future (NAPSA)—Whatwill a micro- wave oven be like 20 years from now? How about a telephone, an artificial heart, a hearing aid—or even your toothbrush? Thousands of students are coming up with answers to questions like these in the tenth annual ExploraVision Awards program. A unique contest inspires stu- dents to imagine the technology of the future. One of the world’s largest K12 student science and technol- ogy competitions, ExploraVision encourages students to create their vision of what an existing technology might be like in 20 years. The contest has inspired more than 150,000 students. Funded by Toshiba and administered by the National  Teachers Association, ExploraVision helps train the next generation of computer whiz-kids. Students are asked to design Internet Web pages that illustrate their ideas. Eight teams from the U.S. and Canada will be selected as national winners in April 2002; students from the four first-place teams get U.S. Series EE savings bonds worth $10,000. Deadline for entries is February 4, 2002. For more information or an application, call 1-800-EXPLOR-9 or e-mail exploravision@nsta.org; or see www.toshiba.com/tai/explora vision.
