Science Fair Projects

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
