Lego Space Man
Two teenagers from Canada did a pretty amazing science project. They wanted to send a Lego man into space. They decided he could ride on a weather balloon. Weather balloons are built to go very high into the air. Usually, weather balloons test what the weather is like way up high. But, this time the weather balloon was just a ride for a Lego man. The Lego man rode all the way to the stratosphere. The two teenagers put a camera on the balloon too. So, they were able to take video of their Lego man up in space. One of the teenagers said, “We never knew we'd get this far. It’s been a lesson for us that hard work pays off.”

Sailing around the World
Last month, a 16 year old girl named Laura Dekker arrived home after a very long trip. She sailed all the way around the world on her 38 foot sailboat. And, she did it by herself. Laura has been preparing for this trip her whole life. She was even born on a sailboat! On her trip she learned to surf, scuba dive, and play the flute. She also spent her birthday on her sailboat. This long journey took Laura about one year to complete. She is the youngest person ever to sail alone all of the way around the world.

A Visit with the President
This week, some very smart kids got to meet the President of the United States, Barack Obama. They visited President Obama at his home which is called the White House. The President is a very busy man so this was a very special visit. Each kid brought a science project to show the President. One kid invented a lunchbox that cleaned itself! President Obama wants these kids to keep learning and inventing. He hopes they will use their minds to make things to help people. Who will make the trip to meet the president next year?
