Brought to you from your @GoogleStudents friends. From pre-university to PhD (and beyond), we got you.
The votes are in for the Google Science Fair Finalists and People’s Choice Award Winner
May 23, 2011
(Cross-posted on the
Official Google
and
Science Fair
blogs)
From
winged keels
to
water turbines
, from
prosthetic limbs
to
programming in pure English
, it’s been a fascinating two weeks for our Google Science Fair judges. It was no easy task to select
15 finalists
out of the 60 semi-finalists—all of the students’ projects asked interesting questions, many focused on real-world problems and some produced groundbreaking science that challenged current conventions.
After much deliberation we're happy to announce the
15 finalists
:
Age 13 - 14
Anand Srinivasan, USA
Daniel Arnold, USA
Lauren Hodge, USA
Luke Taylor, South Africa
Michelle Guo, USA
Age 15 - 16

Harine Ravichandran, India
Naomi Shah, USA
Skanda Koppula, USA
Age 17 - 18

In July, these finalists will come to Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif. to present their projects to our panel of
finalist judges,
including science luminaries, technology innovators and one Nobel laureate. They'll compete for prizes that include $100,000 in scholarship funds, real-life experiences at CERN, Google, LEGO and Scientific American, and a trip to the Galapagos Islands courtesy of National Geographic Expeditions. The winners will be announced at our celebration gala that same evening, beginning at 6:00 p.m. PDT July 11. The event will be streamed live on our
YouTube channel
so make sure to tune in.
In addition, over the past two weeks people around the world have had the opportunity to vote for their favorite projects in our online voting gallery. We have had over 100,000 votes and the competition was really tight, but we’re happy to announce that Nimal Subramanian is the People’s Choice Award winner. Nimal will receive a $10,000 scholarship. Congratulations Nimal—the public really loved
your project
!
Congratulations to all the finalists and the People’s Choice Award winner. We look forward to meeting the finalists at Google in July.
