SciCast is four things:
1. A competition to get children, young people, teachers, parents, science communicators and science/engineering/technology professionals all making short films about practical science.
2. A web resource of all those movies (plus write-ups of the activities, experiments and demonstrations), for the use and amusement of everyone involved, and particularly for schools.
3. A platform to help other science engagement projects share their work with a wider audience.
4. A discussion about whose responsibility it is to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers with entertaining science-related material.
