The 30 Most Impressive Science Fair Projects In The Country

Aakshi Agarwal is designing drugs to treat rheumatoid arthritis, but she's not a doctor or research associate at a major university, she's in middle school.

The 14-year-old Agarwal's project is one of 30, chosen as a Broadcom Math, Applied Science, Technology, and Engineering for Rising Stars (MASTERS) finalist.

These science fair projects were chosen from thousands of nominees across the country, all in the sixth, seventh, or eighth grade.

On Sept. 27, the kids are headed to Washington D.C. to show off their work. The winner, announced on Oct. 1, receives $25,000 in prize money.
