A good idea can come from anyone, anywhere. If you’re between
13-18, Google would love you to join them and share your best
idea using science, technology, engineering, and math. It
doesn’t matter if you use pen and paper or a full-scale lab;
it’s all about the idea and the thinking behind it—no matter how
big or small.
What should you do next? Start thinking up ideas. Go solo or
grab some friends to join and dive into all the guides and
inspiration we’ve collected to help you along the way. Oh, and
check out the prizes—there’s way more this year!

Google Science Fair Judging Criteria.
Inspirational Idea:The judges are looking for entries that
offer a new perspective, fresh thinking, or an innovative
approach. It doesn’t need to be a totally new area of STEM. In
fact, most breakthroughs simply continue where others left
off—and they’re all for that
Capacity to make an Impact:The judges are looking closely to
see if your work could positively impact the real world, either
now or in the future. So, in your project, take the time to show
how and where your findings could be applied or scaled to
real-world scenarios
Passion for Science/Engineering:The judges are looking for
innovators who are really passionate about their project, so
remember to include how you came up with the idea and why you
wanted to pursue it. If this isn’t your first STEM competition,
tell Google about it—they love to see where your passion has
taken you! The “About me” section is the perfect place to
communicate this
Excellence of Method:The judges are checking that your
Method/Testing works with your original Question/Proposal—and
you’ve discussed the reasons for this. Remember, even if your
original idea failed, it doesn’t mean it’s not a good project.
Learning from your experiment is all part of the problem-solving
process. Just be sure to talk about this, and suggest how it
could be improved
Communication:The judges all have different backgrounds and
you need to be able to explain your project to all of them, so
make sure you write clearly and concisely throughout. Try being
creative in your approach to bring your project to life—shoot
videos, take pictures and create visuals. Google Docs are also
available to help you create presentations, graphs, and other
materials that might be difficult to express in words alone,
like your Results
