A science fair experiment is generally a competition where contestants present their science project results in the form of a report, display board, and models that they have created. Science fairs allow students in elementary, middle and high schools to compete in science and/or technology activities.
Although writing assignments that take a long time to complete and require multiple drafts are fairly common in US schools, large projects in the sciences (other than science fairs) are rare. Science fairs also provide a mechanism for students with intense interest in the sciences to be paired with mentors from nearby colleges and universities, so that they can get access to instruction and equipment that the local schools could not provide.
In the United States, science fairs first became popular in the early 1950s, with the ISEF, then known as the National Science Fair. Interest in the sciences was at a new high after the world witnessed the use of the first two atomic weapons and the dawn of television. As the decade progressed, science stories in the news, such as Jonas Salk’s vaccine for polio and the launch of Sputnik, brought science fiction to reality and attracted increasing numbers of students to fairs.

The Google Science Fait is a global online science and technology competition for individuals and teams ages 13-18. Here is the Awards Show from Mountain View, Ca where we are honoring the great minds who participated in this years event.
Meet Olivia Hallisey, 2015’s Grand Prize Winner. Determined to do something to help stop the spread of ebola, Olivia wanted to find a faster way to diagnose the disease. She developed the Ebola Assay Card, a device that changes color when the virus has been detected. It requires no refrigeration for transportation or storage and can confirm in under 30 minutes if someone is infected, before they even show symptoms.

Did you know that you can produce electricity by just walking? Here's my documentation of the gizmo that I've conceptualize over the years. It's a shoe insole that generates electricity solely by walking! ____________Read More....______________ Curious what my projects are?

Though the output was a bit faint but showed signs that the project can be developed. Reflection/ Future Design: People's first impression upon seeing this project was like...
The world’s biggest online science competition is back and open for submissions! Google Science Fair is a global online science and engineering competition open to individuals and teams from ages 13 to 18. Once again we’re extremely lucky to partner with LEGO Education, National Geographic, Scientific American and Virgin Galactic to offer some unbelievable prizes. If your Science Fair submission is something you built to solve an engineering challenge, you’ll be eligible to win the Virgin Galactic Pioneer Award or the LEGO® Education Builder Award. If your project offers a new way to look at the world, asking questions and answering them with experimentation, you’ll be eligible to win the National Geographic Explorer Award or Scientific American Innovator Award. The 16 global finalists, ...
Meet Elif Bilgin, winner of the Scientific American Science in Action Award and winner of the Voter's Choice Award for the Google Science Fair 2013. The environmental problems associated with living in a big city, made Elif want to do something to help combat climate change. She found out that petroleum-based plastics were causing a huge amount of pollution and that bioplastics were a great low-cost alternative. After much research, Elif developed a process for making bioplastic from banana peel which is so simple you could even do it at home.

Meet Mihir Garimella, the 13-14 age category winner and of the very first Computer Science award, sponsored by Google. Nihir’s passion for robotics and a chance encounter with a swarm of fruit flies led to his Science Fair project. He was struck by the similarities in the environments that fruit flies and flying robots operated in, and wondered if he could draw from biology to create truly autonomous robots. Inspired by fruit fly escape behaviors, he built a robot that could dodge oncoming hazards. In the future Nihir hopes this sort of technology could be used in robot-assisted rescue missions.

Meet Anurudh Ganesan, winner of 2015’s LEGO Education Builder Award. Transporting vaccines to remote locations usually requires both ice-packs and electricity, which is a major problem in developing countries. Anurudh’s solution was the VAXXWAGON, a pedal-powered refrigeration system that safely transports vaccines to clinics, even if they’re in the middle of nowhere.

There was an old red hen that played tic-tac-toe,
A robot could beat you at dominoes.

Well, my project was called HOW THINGS BURN. They put it in
The back in a dark corner of the room. On a poster, I taped some
Stuff I found around the house, and then next to it, what it looked
Like when it was all burned up, with a brief, descriptive paragraph
Of how bad it smelled while it was burning up. Cat hair smelled
The worst!
It was the finest, fanciest Science Fair anybody's ever seen.
