momofNEA - The kids deserve everything they get.

The competition on the other hand is totally flawed and seems to totally depend on having access to major labs and fulltime professors. It depends on major research faculty spending all their time advising high school kids.

It has never been the intent of science fair projects to take on pieces of university MS/PhD level projects and work on them as if they are meant for high school kids. Where is the creativity being fostered? In the minds of 40-50 year olds who are advising them?
