Submissions opened today for Google’s second annual science fair. Last year’s winner earned a trip to CERN laboratory in Europe, among other things. This year not one, but two particle physics institutions will contribute to the fair. Engineer Steve Myers, director of accelerators and technology at CERN, and physicist Young-Kee Kim, deputy director of Fermilab, will each participate on the final judging panel. The grand prize winner will receive a trip to visit both labs.
