ExploraVision is a scientific national contest held in the United States and Canada, a joint project by Toshiba Corporation and the National Science Teachers Association. Designed for K–12 students of all interest, skill and ability levels, ExploraVision encourages its participants to create and explore a vision of future technology by developing new ways to apply current science. Since 1992, more than 200,000 students from across the United States and Canada have competed.

Each student is limited to one entry per year. Students and teachers/mentors complete a Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision Awards Entry Form, signed by the students, coach and mentor, an abstract of their project, a detailed project description, a list of technology used that is available at present time, a bibliography, and five Web page graphics that will be used later to create an official web page for the project, if a team advances to the national level.
ExploraVision projects are often not achievable, and technology that is not available at the time needed to make the project become a reality is listed under a section of the project called "Breakthroughs".
