Young Einsteins Wow White House President Obama hosts second
White House Science Fair When people talk about science fairs,
they usually mean baking soda volcanoes and make-your-own silly
putty. But last Tuesday, the term "science fair" took on a whole
new meaning at the second White House Science Fair. The science
fair was hosted by President Barack Obama and highlighted one of
the President's fundamental educational goals: Encouraging
students to get interested in science and technology. The
inspiring event also featured 30 projects highlighting some of
the biggest breakthroughs and inventions in science and
technology that have been discovered by kids. The outstanding
middle- and high-school students who created the exhibits worked
hard and used a lot of creativity to produce everything from
prosthetic limbs and homemade software to nanobots that
eradicate cancer stem cells to UV-light self-cleansing
lunchboxes. The White House Science Fair began with an
opportunity to check out the kids' projects. Preside
