The Kids’ Science Challenge is a competition for 3rd to 6th graders put on by Pulse of the Planet. There are three contests, to come up with great new ideas in the fields of Sports on Mars, (forensic) Science, and Bio-Inspired Designs. You can work alone or in a team, and there are explanations of the contests and great resources on the Kids’ Science Challenge Website. You have to have your parents permission of course, and the deadline is February 28th, 2010! It’s amazing what can be done in four weeks, so don’t let the tight deadline scare you.
I thought this was particularly great because part of the grand prize for the Bio-Inspired Designs is a VIP tour of the San Diego Zoo! How cool would that be? The other prizes aren’t bad either, for the Sports on Mars prize, the winner gets to go to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, where they make a lot of the NASA spacecraft, and for the forensic Science category the winner gets to go to Secret Agent Camp. There are lots of other cool sciency prizes too. So why not check it out? You just need your imagination to begin!
