How do you get ten year olds excited about science?

Well, you empower them to create designs for a new skateboard, join SETI astronomers in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, explore new ways to improve the quality of our drinking water, or invent a new flavor for candy.

THE KIDS' SCIENCE CHALLENGE is a nationwide competition for third to sixth graders to submit experiments and problems for REAL scientists and engineers to solve!

Using an innovative range of new and traditional media - podcasts, virtual communities, after-school activities, online games, a nationwide competition and prizes such as skateboards, telescopes, encyclopedias, science toys, and science activity kits - The Kids Science Challenge will inspire kids to discover a well-kept secret : Science is cool!
