2011 Google Science Fair

The 2011 Google Science Fair is the first global science fair!

Calling all budding Einsteins.... Do you love science? Have a good idea for an experiment? Want to show it to the world?  Google is  thrilled to invite you to join the Google Science Fair, the world's largest online science competition.

If you're between the ages of 13 and 18, your hard work in creating a great science project can win you amazing opportunities, Internships, scholarships, and other prizes. The top global finalists will also be flown to Google HQ in California for our celebratory finalist event, where you'll showcase your project for some of the brightest minds in science today.

Here's how to enter the competition:

  • Go to www.google.com/sclencefalr and sign up, either as an individual or as a team of up to three.
  • We'll email your parent(s) or guardlan(s), who must consent in order for you to enter.
  • Review the contest rules and FAQs.
  • Create your science project (our online resources can help).
  • When your project is complete, you can submit it online. Simple as that!

The contest began on January 11th and submissions will be accepted until April 4th, 2011. Once you've submitted your project, it will be judged alongside other projects by students from around the world. We'll announce the semifinalists in early May, and later that month, we'll announce the names of the finalists who'll be California-bound in July.
