Have you heard about the Google Science Fair? It's an online science competition seeking curious minds from the four corners of the globe. Anybody and everybody between 13 and 18 can enter. All you need is an idea.
In fact last year, over 10,000 students from 91 countries submitted their amazing ideas and it was narrowed down to 3 top winners – all young women. The judges said what set their ideas apart was their intellectual curiosity, their tenaciousness and their ambition to use science to find solutions to big problems.
