I'm not discouraging science. I'm calling for funding to be restored to reasonable levels. You can have a graduate level education and not be able to get anything other than volunteer work these days. Back in the 60s, a 14 year old could get paid.

Great experience for these young minds. There will always be a demand for scientists and engineers in this country despite the naysayers. We need more technical people and their contribution to society.

Thanks for the interest Concerned Parent. We've updated the story with PDF lists of student winners. The Southeastern Michigan Science Fair hopes to post these lists online later this week.

Back in the '70's our son won an award at the Science Fair for a project "Tracing the trajectory of a model rocket". It was hard to say who was the proudest, Clay, his father and I or his science teacher. Great program. Glad to see it continues.

It'd be nice to add a list of local winners from the fair. Many adults wouldn't understand the concepts behind some of these projects.

Great to see kids getting into science, it's what we need most to move our world forward. It's just too bad they'll find out in 20 years that there's no jobs for them because the NIH has been forced to resort to bake sales to sustain the $500k annual budget they'll have in 2030.
