How to Play

Create an interactive MATLAB experience that teaches, explains, or helps others explore a math, science, or engineering concept. Your entry must be a MATLAB app, a live script, or a combination of both.

  1. Choose a STEM concept. Pick a topic from mathematics, physics, chemistry, life sciences, Earth and climate science, AI and data science, or engineering.

  2. Build your experience. Use visualization, interaction, simulation, exploration, or storytelling to make the concept clear and engaging. Entries should focus on helping users learn—not on creating a general-purpose app, dashboard, utility, or toolbox.

  3. Submit to File Exchange. Publish your entry to File Exchange and and include a tag: ‘25yrcontest’.

  4. Join the community. Browse entries, download and try them, and leave comments. Don’t forget to click the ‘Follow the community’ button above to get notified for prize announcements and other important information.
