The 2013 Google Science: Google has named three winners



Progressively this worldwide tech event demonstrates its capacities to bolster innovations, research and development around the world.   This edition, Connectikpeople has been too excited to see how younger can innovate and change the world. A lot of projects have been submitted; at the end top 15 projects were selected from more
than 120 countries around the world.
The three winners of this year’s Google Science Fair include:

  • 13-14 age category: Viney Kumar (Australia) : The PART (Police and Ambulances Regulating Traffic) Program. Viney’s project looked for new ways to to provide drivers with more notice when an emergency vehicle is approaching, so they can can take evasive action to get out of the emergency vehicle’s way.
  • 15-16 age category: Ann Makosinski (Canada) : The Hollow Flashlight. Using Peltier tiles and the temperature difference between the palm of the hand and ambient air, Ann designed a flashlight that provides bright light without batteries or moving parts.
  • 17-18 age category AND Grand Prize Winner: Eric Chen (USA) : Computer-aided Discovery of Novel Influenza Endonuclease Inhibitors to Combat Flu Pandemic. Combining computer modeling and biological studies, Eric’s project looks at influenza endonuclease inhibitors as leads for a new type of anti-flu medicine, effective against all influenza viruses including pandemic strains.
Connectikpeople has observed that, each of the winners will receive prizes from Google and his Science Fair partners: CERN, LEGO, National Geographic and “Scientific American.”
