Fun Time! Invent A Modern Science Kit, Win $50,000!

Ah, the days of the good ol' chemistry set are gone. Too many WMDs in the box just waiting to blow up in our faces!

Lament the death of reason no more! SPARK (Science Play and Research Kit)  is challenging you to envision a modern day chemistry set and if yours is picked you can win $50,000.

But it goes beyond just chemistry. They say they are "looking for ideas that can engage kids as young as 8 and inspire people who are 88. We’re looking for ideas that encourage kids to explore, create, build and question. We’re looking for ideas that honor kids’ curiosity about how things work."

Sounds like we might be able to keep STEM education alive and kicking with notions like this.
