Student+Competitions

Allan Whittome alerted me to this competition:: The Global Education Collaborative <@http://globaleducation.ning.com/>  The Official Social Network of the Global Education Conference

 Hello again GEC members - I usually refrain from sending out a deluge of emails to our membership, but I thought that today's announcement <@http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/google-science-fair-seeks-budding.html> by Google was worth sharing. Google is sponsoring an online global science fair in partnership with CERN, LEGO, National Geographic and Scientific American.

 The competition is open to kids around the world ages 13-18 and the prizes are amazing <@http://www.google.com/events/sciencefair/prizes.html>.

 Submissions are due April 4, 2011. For more information, visit the official web site here: @http://www.google.com/events/sciencefair/. The resource section <@http://www.google.com/events/sciencefair/materials.html> of their web site has some great materials related to their partners, using Google tools, and STEM education.

 Below are a couple of YouTube videos explaining Google's global science fair.
