Participants Tweet back at #PSUScienceScene, using the 140 character limit on Twitter and include the scientific principles used in the scene. Aside from reliving the fun that you used to have with science, if you name the most valid principles, you will win the toy, game or puzzle of the week. Plus, if the winner chooses, she or he will be featured as the winner on the plasma display.

Anyone may enter, but only students with a Penn State Access ID can win. All students are encouraged to participate, regardless of their major or campus location.
