  • ​Making the world better - This year, Google’s Science Fair partner, Scientific American, will be selecting one project to receive the Science in Action award. Scientific American will be looking for an entrant whose work addresses a social, environmental or health issue to make a practical difference to the lives of a group or community. All entrants will be considered automatically for this award as part of the main judging process.
