President Obama is hosting the 3rd Annual White House
Science Fair, celebrating the student winners of a broad range of science,
technology, engineering and math (STEM) competitions from across the country.
This year’s Science Fair features 100 students from more
than 40 states and represent 45 different competitions and organizations that
recognize the talents of America’s
next generation of scientists, engineers, inventors and innovators. Students
are showcasing projects ranging from economically-viable algae biofuel to a
robot that paints with watercolor to a computer program that improves cancer
detection and many more.
As the President has noted, “If you win the NCAA
championship, you come to the White House. Well, if you're a young person and
you produce the best experiment or design, the best hardware or software, you
ought to be recognized for that achievement, too.”
