It's a Google, global science fair
Google, in collaboration with Lego, National Geographic, Scientific American and CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) is calling for entries for the world's first, global science fair.
The Google Global Science Fair is open to college students aged thirteen via 18. Kids can input on their very own or in teams of or three and the cut-off date for entries is April 4th.
The prizes are exceptional and function real, meaningful scholarships as well as hands-on, academic trips to the Galapagos and CERN.
You can learn about the Google Global Science Fair on its dedicated website . If you have a budding scientist in your life, please encourage him or her to enter this science fair. If your budding scientist isn't interested in the contest, encourage that young Marie Curie or young Albert Einstein to keep doing what they're doing.
The solutions to the world's myriad problems are in the minds of scientifically-inclined young people. Those young minds need all of the support and encouragement they can get. There was a time in the United States when investing in science education and science research was a civic virtue. Now it seems that the very expression civic virtue is passé.
I hope that some thing like the Google Global Science Fair can begin to exchange that. As the cease identify of this video says, Science connects the arena.
