About the Competition:

Google science fair is a global online competition, looking for  bright young scientists from all over the world to submit interesting and creative projects which are relevant to the world today. All you need to participate is curiosity and an Internet connection. Project submissions are due May 12,2014 and the winners will be announced at the finalist event at Google headquarters in Mountain View, California, on September 22 ,2014.

Open to students under the age-group of 13-18 years, Google Science Fair accepts all submissions online via a participant website template. Preliminary judging for this global competition is also done entirely online. Either individually or in teams of up to three people, students pose a question, develop a hypothesis and conduct science experiments to test it.

Prizes to be Won! 

In addition to satisfying your curious mind, your project can also win you some pretty cool prizes. This year’s grand prize winner will have the chance to join the Virgin Galactic team at Spaceport America in New Mexico as they prepare for space flight , a 10-day trip to the Galapagos Islands aboard the National Geographic Endeavour and a full year’s digital access to Scientific American Magazine for their school.
Age category winners will have a choice between going behind the scenes at the LEGO factory in Billund, Denmark or opt for an amazing experience at either a Google office or National Geographic.

For the 2014 competition, they are also giving away two new awards to celebrate talented young scientists:

  • The Computer Science Award – will be given to a project that champions innovation and excellence in the field of computer science.
  • Local Award Winners –students whose projects have attempted to address an issue relevant to their community, will be honoured in select locations globally.

And the Scientific American Science In Action award will once again honour a project that addresses a health, resource or environmental challenge. The winner will receive a year’s mentoring from Scientific American and a $50,000 grant toward their project. So what are you waiting for?

    Its really a fabulous chance for all the desperate students…Q: can a project be connected to any issue of a particular country ?

    I’m too interested but CBSE gives us no time for extra works. We don’t even get vacation here. Always they say to do project, assignments and so on and never gives us a free mind to think and explore….. Hopeless

    I feel our education system (Indian) does not inspire us with creativity and new ideas. As a result, we feel helpless in changing the world. Please suggest some tips to help us with this science fair.
