Google Science Fair Extends Submission Deadline

We have been overwhelmed by the number of submissions we received for the Google Science Fair. We are enthusiastic about the the great projects we have seen so far!

The competition was officially closing yesterday. However, we understand that, due to the volume of projects submitted on the last day, some students experienced problems when they tried to submit their projects close to the deadline last night. That’s why we have decided to re-open the submission form until 11:59:59 PM EST on Thursday, 7 April 2011 to give everyone who had a problem a chance to submit their work. We know that many of the students who were unable to submit their projects had worked very hard for several months to perfect their work and we believe that it’s only fair to give them a chance to compete. And, guess what - if you’ve already submitted your entry, you can use this time to continue to perfect it or tweak it!

Wishing everyone who submitted projects good luck! Remember to keep an eye on www.google.com/sciencefair for the announcement of our global semi finalists and the launch of our People’s Choice Awards in early May.
