Natalie Ng (Class 2014) has been named a finalist in the 2012 YouTube SpaceLab (youtube.com/spacelab), a global science competition that challenges 14-18 year-olds to design a science experiment that can be performed in space.  YouTube SpaceLab received thousands of video submissions from more than 80 countries, a remarkable number given the unique challenge of designing an experiment that could actually be carried out in space – something that has traditionally been the mission of qualified astronauts and scientists.  Entrants described their science experiment ideas via video, and demonstrated and animated the procedures they were submitting.

From January 18 through January 24, the public are invited to judge these entries alongside a panel of judges to determine the winners.  Six regional winners (2 teams from each of the 3 regions – the Americas; Europe, Middle-East and Africa; and Asia-Pacific) will travel to Washington, DC, where the global winners (2 teams from each age group) will be announced in March.
