You heard that right. Your favorite search engine, Google, has thrown its doors open for budding scientists. The company is looking for kids between the age group of 13 to 18, working alone or in groups of two and three to submit interesting and useful projects.
The Google Science Fair site can help you out with various details regarding the project. The project should be submitted by the 4th of April 2011 and should contain either a two-minute video or a 20-slide presentation on what exactly your project does or what problem will it solve. You can check out a mock project submission on this link which demonstrates using an autonomous robot to transport various medical items.
Judges for the competition include Vint Cerf, Vice President of Google, Rolf-Dieter Heuer, Director General of CERN, inventor Dean Kamen and many more. The prizes include a National Geographic Expedition to the Galapagos Islands, a Once in a Lifetime Experience with one of the following partner organizations: CERN, Google, the LEGO Group, or Scientific American and even a scholarship from Google.
So if you have what it takes, you can always give Google Science Fair a try. Check out this neat video of the Google Science Fair below.
