Growing up, I was an avid fan of science and participated in numerous science fairs, winning first place at a few of them and competing in the Intel Science Talent Search competition.
I first heard about the Google Science Fair after reading an article on the official Google Blog and became intrigued. I then spent several hours reading about the innovative research and projects that current high school students were conducting and was simply blown away.
Students today are combining science and technology to come up with creative and effective solutions to some of the world's most pressing problems and it's incredibly inspiring.
I encourage you to read about Birttany Wenger's research that resulted in her developing an app to help doctors diagnose breast cancer. (Brittany Wenger, a 17 year old, was the Grand Prize winner in 2012).
