Pixel phone giveaway in #STEMTok competition amid TikTok US ban threat
TikTok might face a ban in the US after the latest House vote, but let's put politics aside.
Right now, TikTok offers users a chance to win a Google Pixel phone (not specified which exact model, but, hey, it certainly won't be the Pixel 3a from 2019) by participating in the first STEM competition on TikTok.
STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math.
To participate in the challenge, students aged 13-21, and teachers of all kinds, are encouraged to submit their best STEM communication video on TikTok's STEM feed using the hashtag #STEMTok.
The competition kicks off on Earth Day, April 22 and will finish on May 31
Here's your participation guide:
TikTok's team says that in the US, 33% of TikTok's community already actively engages with STEM content through their dedicated feed. After over 50,000 users signed-up to watch the exclusive stream of the National STEM Festival, TikTok LIVE will stream STEM-related content for seven weeks during the contest.
