This looks like a superb opportunity…

Google’s Science Fair project looks like an incredible opportunity for schools. The examples of famous inventors’ young ages when they started working on such creations as the lightbulb and the telephone is truly inspirational.

Why should our young people not be capable of such innovative thinking at a young age?

Here’s what their site says about it:

The Google Science Fair is an online science competition open to students ages 13-18 from around the globe. We’re looking for ideas that will change the world. To get started, all you’ll need is a Google account.

NB

If web filters mean schools are unable to access Google accounts in school, you will need to make a request via school HTs to have this unblocked. Please mention this specific project if you are submitting a request to have filters unblocked for Google accounts.
