What’s it all about?
This online science competition in partnership with CERN, LEGO, National Geographic and Scientific
American which is open to young people aged 13 to 18 from around the world – working as an individual
or in a team of up to 3. It offers students the chance to explore an area of science that they're
passionate about - and be in with a chance of winning life-changing prizes!
How do students take part?
Students have 3 months to come up with a winning idea and complete their project before the 30 April
deadline. All they need to do is visit www.googlesciencefair.com and register, then they can get
started. This year we’ve included a wealth of resources designed to help you engage your students in
the competition and science in the classroom.
Once in a lifetime prizes!
Prizes include scholarships from Google, a 10-day trip to the Galapagos Islands with
National Geographic Expeditions along with an experience at Google, CERN or LEGO. In addition, this
year there will be a Science in Action prize award, sponsored by Scientific American, awarded to a top science
project that has shown positive, local community impact and the potential to scale in other parts of the
world. The public will have the chance to vote for the most Inspired Idea and the winner's’ school will be
acknowledged with a Celebrate the School Award
It would be awesome if you could help spread the word back to your former high schools, and let them know about the Google science fair, and that it's a platform for students passionate about science & technology to showcase their ideas and express themselves globally and put Tanzania on the map.
attached are two PDF documents that you can forward to potential students, teachers and anyone interested.
Cheers!
