The 2016 Google Science Fair is open. It is a global online competition for youngsters between 13 and 18 and you can participate individually or in teams :=)
In partnership with National Geographic, LEGO Education,
Scientific American, and Virgin Galactic, they want to hear how students will use
science and engineering to make something better!
To help you get some inspiration and develop project ideas, the website also offers a Make Better Generator in which you are invited to finish the sentences"I love..."
"I'm good at..."
and answer "What will I make better?"
With your answers, the website generates a collection of videos and websites that can really inspire you by sparking (project) ideas.
As you know and all developers know, science is everywhere and that's exactly the title of this year's inspirational video below:
To be sure it's for common students, just like you, but who believe in excellence and hard work, here is the testimony of last year's winner - a 17 year-old girl concerned about the spread of Ebola:
What are you waiting for?
Think about something you love, wish to make better and submit your project!
Ask for help, experiment!
Just go for it!
Make your dreams come true!
