Category
Deadline: February 13, 2006
Sponsored by the Christopher Columbus Fellowship Founda- tion (
http://www.columbusfdn.org/ ) in cooperation with the National Science
Foundation ( http://www.nsf.gov/ ), the Christopher Columbus Awards program (
http://www.christophercolumbusawards.com/ ) is a national competition for
middle-school-age children that combines science and technology with community
problem-solving in a real-world setting.
With the help of an adult coach, participating students work in teams to
identify an issue they care about and, using science and technology, work with
experts, conduct research, and put their ideas to the test to develop an
innovative solution to that problem.
The awards program is open to all middle-school-age (sixth, seventh, and
eighth grade) children in the U.S., its possessions, and territories. Teams do
not need to be affiliated with a school to enter. Coaches may be any adult
over 18 years of age, including parents, community leaders, grandparents, and
teachers.
For complete program information and guidelines, visit the awards program Web
site.
