STEM

America's Top Young Scientists 2018 “All of the finalists for America’s Top Young Scientist embody the same curiosity, creativity, and passion that 3M uses when we apply science to life,” said Paul Keel, senior vice president, business development and marketing-sales, 3M. “These talented young men and women are just beginning their lives as scientists. I am excited by the endless possibilities that await each of them. We wish them all the joy and success that comes from a lifelong journey of exploration.”

Oregon Middle School Student Rishab Jain was named America’s Top Young Scientist 2018 in the Nation’s premier middle school science competition.

As the winning entry, he will receive $25,000 along with the opportunity to attend the taping of a Discovery Network TV show.

The nine finalists received $1,000 and a variety of prizes from Discovery Education and 3M. These finalists include:

13-year-old Rishab Jain, America's Top Young Scientist 2018.

Jain developed an algorithm to make pancreatic cancer treatment more effective through the use of artificial intelligence.

In second place: Mehaa Amirthalingam, an eighth-grader from Sugar Land, Texas, developed a toilet flushing system that uses both fresh and recycled water to reduce water consumption in the home.

In third place: Leo Wylonis, an eighth-grader from Berwyn, Pa., designed a device for airplane wings that mimics the twisting motion of a bird in flight, increases fuel efficiency and reduces carbon emissions.

The annual contest, a partnership between 3M and Discovery Education, calls for students in grades 5-8 to submit a twominute video demonstrating an innovation that could provide a solution to an everyday problem.

In fourth place: Sriram Bhimaraju, a sixth-grader from Cupertino, Calif., developed an Archery Assistant app that improves an archer’s accuracy by correcting form in real-time using a Bluetooth sensor.

A panel of judges then selects ten finalists who are then paired with a 3M scientist to create an invention that solves the problem they identified.

Julia Gelfond, a seventh-grader from Chevy Chase, Md. Julia invented an innovative use for dissolvable gel that can fill a tooth hole after it has been extracted to alleviate pain, infection and suffering.

Discovery Education and 3M have named 13-year-old Rishab Jain from Portland, Or., the winner of the 2017 Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge. Rishab created an algorithm to make pancreatic cancer treatment more effective by using artificial intelligence to accurately locate and track the pancreas in real-time during MRI radiotherapy. His innovation aims to improve accuracy, reduce invasiveness and increase efficiency during treatment, resulting in better quality of life and chance for survival among patients.

A seventh-grader at STEM School and Academy, Gitanjali competed alongside nine other finalists during a live competition at the 3M Innovation Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. She was awarded the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” as well as a $25,000 prize.

During the summer, the finalists had the exclusive opportunity to work with 3M scientists to develop their innovations as part of a unique mentorship program. Rishab was paired with Dr. Döne Demirgöz, a 3M corporate supply chain black belt and product development and research expert who takes the products developed in 3M labs and brings them to the marketplace.

The finalists presented their inventions to an esteemed panel of scientists and leaders from both Discovery Education and 3M. In addition, they competed in two other challenges that combined multiple 3M technologies to solve a realworld problem.

The fifth through tenth place winners each received a $1,000 prize and a $500 excitations gift card. These finalists (in alphabetical order) are: Anna Du, a sixth-grader from Andover, Mass. Anna created an underwater device that uses infrared light to detect harmful microplastics in the ocean.

Zachary Hessler, a seventh-grader from Vero Beach, Fla. Zachery developed a method using light technology to reduce noise pollution.

Theodore Jiang, an eighth-grader at Paul Revere Charter Middle School in Santa Monica, Calif. Theodore invented Textricity, a smartphone case that harvests energy from finger taps on the screen to charge the phone’s battery.

Cameron Sharma, an eighth-grader from Glen Allen, Va. Cameron created uFlu, an algorithm that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify personalized flu vaccines.

Krish Wadhwani, an eighth grader from Alpharetta, Ga. Krish developed a medication that could potentially cure Huntington’s Disease, a degenerative condition in the brain that currently has no known cure.

The Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge recognizes scientific thinking and imagination in students grades 5-8 who dream up a solution to an everyday problem that ultimately could reshape and improve the way we live our lives. For more information visit www.YoungScientistLab.com.

Is Spring around the Corner? Ask the Groundhog!

On February 2nd every year, weather forecasters around the country include a report on whether the groundhog saw its shadow on that day. Weather forecasters don't usually predict the weather based on an animal, so how did the Groundhog Day tradition begin?

According to American folklore, if it is cloudy when the groundhog comes out of his burrow on this day, then spring will come early. If it's sunny (so that he can see his shadow,) he will go back into his burrow and there will be 6 more weeks of winter.

The tradition of Groundhog Day has been observed in parts of Europe since the 18th century. However, it hasn't always centered around a groundhog or been called by that name. Groundhog Day has origins in Candlemas Day, and began in Germany. When German settlers came to America and settled in Pennsylvania and beyond, they brought the Candlemas Day tradition with them. Candlemas marks the midpoint between the shortest day (Winter Solstice) and the Spring Equinox (first day of spring). In the German tradition, it was believed that if the weather on Candlemas Day was stormy, the second half of winter would be fair. If the weather was fair and sunny on Candlemas Day, winter would stretch on with more cold weather.

"For as the sun shines on Candlemas Day, So far will the snow swirl until May For as the snow blows on Candlemas Day, So far will the sun shine before May." Eventually in Germany a hibernating animal such as a badger or even a bear was used for predicting the upcoming weather. In Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania a hibernating mammal was used: the woodchuck or groundhog. Pennsylvania's first official celebration of Groundhog Day took place on February 2, 1886. The groundhog used in the festivities was given the name and official title, "Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers,

Sage of Sages, Prognosticator of Prognosticators, and Weather Prophet Extraordinaire." (Prognosticate means to predict). That was a long name!

He is now simply called Punxsutawney Phil, and people enjoy hearing the news of whether Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow on February 2nd. Phil's first prediction was an early spring. Since then, he has been right about 40% of the time. The famous Pennsylvania Groundhog Day festivities now take place at Gobbler's Knob, a wooded hill with a beautiful view. Punxsutawney Phil rests in a heated burrow beneath a fake tree stump before making his prediction each February 2nd at 7:35 am.

North Carolina has its own famous groundhog: Sir Walter Wally!

In the North Carolina Triangle you can visit Sir Walter Wally every year on Groundhog Day (February 2nd) at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, and participate in the annual North Carolina celebration of Groundhog Day. Here in North Carolina where the winters are warmer for Sir Walter Wally than they are for Punxsutawney Phil in Pennsylvania, they say that Sir Walter Wally is almost always right!

Parents and teachers can visit the Museum's website at naturalsciences. org to learn more.

7-Year-Old Wins 2018 Doodle for Google Contest!

Sarah Gomez-Lane of Virginia Won a $30,000 Scholarship and $50,000 for her School Seven-year-old first grader Sarah GomezLane of Virginia is the winner of the 2018 Doodle for Google contest!

You can check out Sarah's dinosaur doodle, animated by the Google Doodle team, at https://www.google. com/doodles/doodle-4-google-2018-uswinner.

Sarah was selected from over 180,000 other students from across the U.S. She is the youngest student to win the contest.

She will receive $30,000 toward a college scholarship and $50,000 will go to her school, Pine Spring Elementary, to be spent on technology. Her drawing was featured on Google's homepage.

She also won a trip to Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California to meet the Google Doodle team, along with the other four finalists.

Each of the other four finalists also received a Pixelbook computer and $5,000 for college.

For last year's (2018) contest, students were asked to respond to the theme "What Inspires Me …" The Google "Doodles" that students submitted were judged based on artistic merit, creativity, and how well the theme was represented.

Millions of people (members of the public) voted for their favorite doodles. Then a panel of judges — including celebrity and athlete judges — helped select the five finalists, one from each of five age groups from kindergarten through 12th grade.

Google began using doodles incorporating the letters G-O-O-G-L-E in 1998 when Google's founders wanted to show that they would be "out of the office" at a festival in the Nevada desert. Instead of an "out of office" message, they featured a Google doodle on the Google website.

The finalists submitted their art incorporating the G-O-O-G-L-E letters, feauturing all kinds of different "What Inspires Me . . ." topics, such as space travel, cooking with family, fashion, design, geography, and . . . as featured in winner Sarah Gomez-Lane's entry: paleontology!

Google then began to use Google doodles as a way to feature artists' work.

Sarah told Google that, "The things on my Doodle are my favorite dinosaurs. Dinosaurs inspire me to study more to be a paleontologist. ... The shovel is for my future job!"

The contest also takes place in other countries so that students in other countries also have an opportunity to submit their doodles and win prizes.

Google's Doodle Team also worked with Sarah to animate her artwork before the doodle went live. When you click the arrow for each dinosaur, the dinosaurs come to animated life one by one; then they celebrate together. (One dinosaur plays the trumpet, another dinosaur gets a little carried away chewing bubble gum.)

On page 10, learn about how you can create your own Doodle and have a parent/guardian or teacher submit it to Google for the chance to be a 2019 Doodle for Google contest winner!

In 2008, Google created the Doodle 4 Google contest (now called the "Doodle for Google" contest in the U.S.) as a way to showcase student work.

KIDS' ART

Enter the 2019 Doodle for Google Contest

Your Google doodle could earn you a $30,000 scholarship and $50,000 for your school!

Calling all K-12 students!

Bring your creativity to life using any medium you choose for the chance to be a Doodle for Google winner.

The National Winner’s artwork will be featured on the Google homepage, and will win a $30,000 scholarship and a $50,000 tech grant for their school.

The Doodle for Google Contest is designed to encourage eligible U.S. school students to use their creativity to create their own interpretation of the Google logo. Google has been hosting the Doodle for Google contest every year in the U.S. since 2008. This is the contest's eleventh year!

You have probably seen some of the cool doodles that grace Google's logo artwork when the Google search box pops up. Sometimes these Google "doodles" are animated; sometimes they even include a kind of mini video game when you click on the Google doodle.

The 2019 Doodle for Google theme is:

When I grow up, I hope…

This year’s theme invites you to show Google what you hope for in your future. Classrooms on Mars? Shoes that can fly? Food for everyone?

Take your ideas and put them into your Doodle incorporating the letters from the Google logo.

This year’s contest submissions open January 7, 2019 and are due March 18, 2019 at 8:00pm PST. Participants in this year's contest are asked to create a doodle (can be a drawing or a 2D image of your 3D sculpture or collage). The doodle must incorporate the letters G-o-o-g-l-e.

Google doodles are the fun, surprising, and sometimes spontaneous changes that are made to the Google logo to celebrate holidays, anniversaries, and the lives of famous artists, pioneers, and scientists.

This is the third year that students may create a doodle using any medium or materials. However, doodles will be reviewed and scanned in a twodimensional (2D) format. If students create a three-dimensional (3D) doodle, make sure to take a photograph and enter the photograph rather than the original.

Put on your creating thinking cap and get out your art supplies, because when you submit your own Google doodle art creation, your Google doodle could earn you a scholarship! The winning doodle also will be featured on www.Google.com for a day. So get to work and let the doodling begin!

Original 2D scannable doodles made with materials such as paint, pencils, crayons, markers, chalk, pastels, charcoal, cray-pas, or a 2D collage will be accepted. Computer-generated images will also be accepted.

The 2019 Doodle for Google contest is for students in grades K-12, and is open for online and mailed entries until March 18, 2019 at 8:00pm PST. For entry details visit https://doodles.google.com/ d4g/how-it-works/

The theme of this year’s contest is "When I grow up, I hope..."

Students can trace the logo outline on the entry form, or start from scratch by using any materials they wish. Students are free to design their doodles however they want as long as they use the letters G-o-o-g-l-e. The doodle must be two-dimensional and scannable (e.g., no videos or GIFs).

Show Google what you hope for in your future - get doodling!

Students can work with any materials they want, but all doodles must be entered using the entry form.

Only one application may be submitted per student. Only the first doodle entered for each student will be considered, and any additional doodles will be disqualified.

The contest begins on January 7th, 2019 8:00pm Pacific Time (PST) in the United States and ends on March 18th, 2019, 8:00pm PST. Parents and teachers can mail us the completed entry form or submit it online as a .png, or .jpg.

Entries can be submitted online or mailed. If mailing entries, Doodle entries must be postmarked

by March 18th, 2019 and received (delivered to the contest mailing address) within seven days of the postmark deadline.

For more information visit https://doodles.google. com/d4g/how-it-works/ For official rules visit https://doodles.google.com/ d4g/rules/.

FEBRUARY 2019 Flick Picks How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (In Theaters: February 22, 2019)

Soar with the dragons! DreamWorks Animation's state-of-the-art computer animated How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World is the third and final film in the "How to Train Your Dragon" trilogy, one of the most popular animated movie series in film history. What began as an unlikely friendship between a Viking boy named Hiccup and a fearsome Night Fury dragon named Toothless, continues in this epic story of loyal friendship, adventure and perilous challenges.

In this next (and last) chapter, Hiccup and Toothless finally discover their true destinies, with Hiccup as the village chief and ruler of Berk alongside Astrid, and Toothless as leader of the dragons. As Hiccup fulfills his dream of creating a peaceful dragon utopia, Toothless’ discovery of an elusive female Night Fury draws him away. When danger mounts at home and Hiccup’s reign as village chief is tested, both dragon and rider must make impossible decisions to save their kind.

Rated PG. (1 hr. 44 min.) DreamWorks Animation.
