The Google Science Fair is Now Open!

Last month I shared the news that Google would be hosting an online science fair in 2011. As announced today by Google, registration is now open.

The focus of the Google Science Fair is on STEM projects. The Google Science Fair is open to 13-18 year old students. Students can enter individually or in small teams. Google's partners in this project include National Geographic, CERN, NASA, Scientific American, and LEGO. There are some really nice prizes up for grabs. Those prizes include a trip to the Galapagos Islands and trip to CERN in Switzerland.

Entries to the Google Science Fair must be made online in the form of a Google Site. Google has posted a sample project site. Find complete entry rules here.
