Science and Technology Competition Opportunities

The time is short, but there are a couple of science and technology competition opportunities that might be fun. 

The Discovery Education's 3M Young Scientist Challenge.  
This involves developing an innovative solution to a technical problem and creating a video about it.  Participants register online with their parents.  This will be an independent effort, but we'd love to hear about what you do!  Website:  www.youngscientistchallenge.com.  The deadline for submitting entries is April 15, 2011.
