Thousands of teenagers from around the world have
submitted a science project to the Google Science Fair.
Now it's your turn to participate.

The contest's judges have winnowed the field to 60
semifinalists across three age groups, and members of
the public can vote at this point for which of those
semifinalist projects should receive the People's Choice
Award. The prize comes with a $10,000 college
scholarship from Google. Take a look at some of the
entries-it's both humbling and inspiring to see what
these students are capable of doing.

The Google Science Fair kicked off in January, and
Google says it received more than 7,500 entries from 90
countries [see video below]. (Scientific American is a
partner in the science fair, and Editor in chief
Mariette DiChristina is one of the judges.)

Voting for the People's Choice Award is open through May
20-click here to cast your vote. The winner will be
