Make a two-minute video, get an experiment flown to the international space station.
YouTube and Lenovo, the computer manufacturer, announced Monday a science contest called SpaceLab for students around the world ages 14 to 18. Students, who can enter individually or in teams of up to three, do not have to perform experiments. Instead, they will make videos to pitch ideas for experiments that could be conducted in the zero-gravity environs.
The two winning entries will be built and flown there, and astronauts will conduct a demonstration that will be broadcast to classrooms.
