SOLVING COMMUNITY ISSUES

The Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation is accepting entries for its 10th annual Christopher Columbus Awards program until Feb. 13, 2006. The contest challenges teams of up to four students in grades 6-8, and one mentor, to identify a community issue and use the scientific process to come up with an innovative solution. The eight teams chosen for the final leg of the competition will each win a $200 grant (which will be used to develop their ideas further), plus an all-expense paid trip to participate in Championship Week, where they will explore the science and technology behind Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. During Championship Week, each member of the two gold-medal-winning teams will receive a $2,000 savings bond, and one team will win the $25,000 Columbus Foundation Community Grant to help bring its idea to life. Contest information and rules are available at http://www.christophercolumbusawards. com.
