Google is looking for students who will change the world.
This week, the largest online science fair in the world opened to students around the globe. For two years, thousands of students from more than 90 countries around the world, have submitted research projects that have challenged conventional thinking and pushed the field of science to new and exciting heights. In 2012, winning projects explored the hidden life of water, music for the hearing-impaired, and innovative breast cancer diagnosis. The annual Google Science Fair is open to all students, ages 13-18. The grand prize includes a National Geographic Expedition to the Galápagos Islands!
