In 2013, 18-year-old Charalambos Ioannou climbed the list of 15 finalists of an international science competition for children aged 13-18 organized by Google. He had made an extra-skeletal glove on the occasion of his desire to help his grandmother catch and be able to control the remote control.
Chr. Ioannou's extra-skeletal glove was one of 15's best works "for the good of mankind" that excelled in the Google Science contest.
The fourth contest Google Science Fair starts with the submission of participation declarations until May 12, 2014.
The big winner of Google Science Fair 2014 will join the Virgin Galactic team at Spaceport America in New Mexico as members of the group will be preparing for a space flight.
