Google Global Science Fair

What do earmuffs, television, and ChatRoulette have in common? They were all dreamed up by teenagers -- the same age group Google is targeting with its first-ever science fair, an online smarts search. Judging begins today, with winners announced in mid-July. Those who missed the deadline (or the 13-to-18 age bracket) can still marvel at wunderkinds' submitted videos and vote on which pint-size inventor might have outsize impact. Google is following Intel's lead: At last year's fair, 16-year-old Amy Chyao, whose photosynthesizing process allows cancer drugs to penetrate more deeply, scored top honors, and her work is now being tested at the University of Texas at Dallas. Sure puts your glue-stick-and-poster-board memories to shame, don't it?
