Wow! Very impressive. I hope you are able to enter in the Discovery Channel competition. How exciting if he wins that! Sounds like the military will be calling on him in a few years if he keeps winning awards from them.
To see last years competition go to http://school.discovery.com/sciencefaircentral/dysc//
Go to the blue tab labeled "Latest Updates" and click on "watch the 2006 week in review". It's a short video of last years competition.
The kids are involved in more than just their own projects.
Well written article.
