Learn Enquire Your Query Inwards The 2012 Google Scientific Discipline Fair
Are human beings born curious, or tin destination curiosity live nurtured through environment, contest or a expert teacher? Everyone’s got a question—that’s ours. But we’re certain you’ve got tons of questions, too. Today, we’re inviting students unopen to the Blue Planet to position their most pressing questions most the Blue Planet unopen to them too answer those questions through scientific inquiry.
Along with our partners CERN, The LEGO Group, National Geographic too Scientific American, today we’re launching the instant annual Google Science Fair, the largest online scientific discipline contest inward the world, opened upwardly globally to students ages 13-18. Either individually or inward teams of upwardly to iii people, students position a question, prepare a hypothesis too bear scientific discipline experiments to exam it. The entire procedure is detailed too submitted online, via a website template participants fill upwardly out themselves, then all y'all bespeak to participate is curiosity, an Internet connector too a browser.
Last year, nosotros received entries that strove to solve a broad diversity of needs, from “How tin destination I cure cancer?” to “Can I learn a robot to larn English?” to “Can I construct a faster sailboat?” The breadth too depth of these projects was incredibly impressive, too this yr nosotros promise to come across fifty-fifty to a greater extent than entries from the adjacent generation of bright immature scientists.
This year’s fair volition live fifty-fifty to a greater extent than global than the last: We’re forthwith accepting submissions inward xiii languages (Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Castilian too Russia). We volition also live recognizing ninety regional finalists (30 from the Americas, thirty from the Asia Pacific too thirty from Europe/Middle East/Africa). From these 90, to live announced inward May, our judges volition conduct the operate yesteryear fifteen finalists, who volition live flown to Google headquarters inward Mountain View, Calif. for our alive Google Science Fair finally upshot on July 23, 2012. At the finals, a panel of distinguished international judges (like Vint Cerf, Sylvia Earle too Nobel Laureates David Gross too Ada Yonath) volition conduct operate yesteryear winners inward each historic current category (13-14, 15-16, 17-18).
We’re also introducing a novel category for this year’s competition—the Scientific American Science inward Action award. We were then inspired yesteryear 2011 finalist Harine Ravichandran’s project, which attempted to solve unloosen energy surges inward rural villages, that nosotros decided to recognize an outstanding projection that addresses a social, environmental or wellness bespeak to brand a departure inward the lives of a grouping or community, every bit Harine’s projection did for her grandparents’ hamlet inward India. The winner volition also live flown to Mountain View for the finalist upshot inward July.
The Google Science Fair opens today, Jan 12, worldwide, too we’ll bring submissions until Sunday, Apr 1 at 11:59pm GMT (or 6:59pm ET/3:59pm PT). In add-on to satisfying your curious mind, your bright projection tin destination also aid to win y'all some pretty cool prizes, similar a $50,000 college scholarship from Google, a 10-day trip to the Galapagos Islands with a National Geographic Explorer or an internship at Google or whatever i of our partners. Our Scientific American Science inward Action accolade winner volition earn $50,000 too year-long mentorship to brand their projection goal a reality.
The winners of finally year’s maiden Google Science Fair became something similar scientific stone stars. Shree Bose, Naomi Shah too Lauren Hodge 21 Amazing Young Women of the Year. White House visits too Glamour aside, every pupil inward the Google Science Fair has the run a peril to practise hands-on research that tin destination genuinely alter the world.
Visit google.com/sciencefair too inquire your most burning questions at the operate yesteryear of your vocalization for the Blue Planet to hear. Google itself was founded through experimentation too with the Google Science Fair, nosotros promise to inspire scientific exploration alongside the adjacent generation of scientists too engineers, celebrate scientific talent, practise scientific purpose models too unite students unopen to the Blue Planet inward the quest for learning.
