The annual Toshiba/National Science Teacher Association Exploravision Awards ceremony was held in Washington, D.C. recently. First and second prizes are awarded in four categories depending upon grade level. Some of the winners this year included an "intelligent streets" design by a third-grader in Texas (windshield film giving traffic updates, etc.), and a tracheal filter breathing system by a Minnesota seventh-grader. Bill Nye and Arthur Eisenkraft, sponsors and co-creator of the awards, discussed the need for sparking the interest of children in science. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jun/19/young-scientists-highlight-need/?page=all
