That is awesome. Some of those projects were pretty damn cool and ingenious as well.

Sigh. This makes me depressed. These kids are infinitely smarter than me, and I have a $80,000 education. =( I wish I were as smart as these kids.

Ok, a 14 year old identified an evolutionary relationship between two creatures? Either they're teaching them a shitload more in school nowadays, or she got help from her parents!

First of all congratulations to the winners!

The world is an infinitely vast place. Yes, these kids are way smarter than me too, but no one knows everything. Everyone can be an expert at something if they want to be.
