Following are the stories of a number of science projects recently funded by the Science House Foundation. You’ll learn more about the project, how the money was used, and perhaps even get a few ideas for how you can promote science yourself. Some of the project descriptions include photos and documentation to help schools generate similar results.

Science House is sponsoring cash prizes for the Suffolk Community College "Math Online Competition" to encourage greater participation and a competitive spirit. The competition is open to all students in the college and the rules are simple - the students receive one problem each week of the semester and must submit their answer before the next week's problem is released. Science House funding is going towards the fall 2009 and spring 2010 competitions.

Science House was one of the sponsors of the 41st International Chemistry Olympiads, hosted this year by the University of Cambridge. The competition, which ran from July 18 - 27, brought together teams of high school students from several dozen countries around the world for the ultimate chemistry challenge. Check out the results of the competition here. Congratulations to everyone who won medals and a special mention to the Taiwanese team for picking up four golds, the only team where every member won the highest award.
