Young inventors

BoardBuzz is amazed at some projects inventors presented at the National Press Club on Friday, which included a football game for the blind, a tongue spray to change the taste of foods, and a new strategy for making bioplastics, but something else impressed us even more. All these innovative ideas came from groups of students who are all under 18 years-old! That's right, these young inventors, in grades K-12, met in Washington, D.C. for the 16th annual ExploraVision awards. The competition, run by Toshiba and the National Science Teachers Association, has had students working hard for months to create prototypes and Web sites to showcase their inventions. BoardBuzz recommends taking a look at this article in USA Today to learn more about the competition. Congratulations are definitely in order to all the students, who will take home laptops and DVD players for their schools. The first place winners also received a $10,000 savings bond. We are thrilled with their enthusiasm and applaud the teachers and executives who work hard to get students interested in science. Great job!
