Young Scientist Develop Self-driving Car
Notes:
■ Have you ever attended or participated in a science fair? ■ How can anyone in the world do research, by using what? ■ What global problems are scientific innovators trying to solve? ■ 2.5 people die in car accidents each year. What scientific
innovation can bring the numbers down? ■ Would self-driving cars be safer for people to travel in?

If you keep abreast of new developments, you’ll know about the new self-driving car.
James totaled his car in an accident last night.
Angela is a whiz on the computer. She’ll walk away with the first prize, you’ll see.
Francis won the competition fair and square. She came up with the best solution.
What does the language below mean? When would you use it?

you were a computer scientist? What global problem would you try to solve?
you were asked to be a judge at a science fair? How would you judge which innovation should win?
you were offered money to buy a self-driving car?
What would you do if ……
