Win $10,000 in Trash to Treasure Contest
Here’s a chance to use your creativity to actually do something important and useful - Help improve the world. The PBS series, Design Squad, is holding a design contest for kids ages 5 to 19. The goal is to recycle, reuse and re-engineer everyday materials into new inventions that can either: move things or people; protect the environment; or be used for indoor or outdoor play. The grand prize is $10,000, a Dell laptop and a trip to Boston, where the show is filmed, so the winner can see their design being built. Four finalists will win Dell laptops. The contest runs through June 30 2008. For contest rules and more information, go to http://pbskids.org/designsquad/contest/index.html

What an exciting contest! Do you have a follow up as to who won and what kind of science fair projects were done? I would be interesting and learning more.
We hold a free science fair contest two times a year online that focuses on “Green” - improving the environment. We don’t have as much money to give away, but the kids do win prizes and get a page on the web with their abstract, displayboard or video. It is quite contributive since more of the students who come to the site are from 3rd world countries and are not really rich in resources. Why don’t you check it out?
