At the end of January, we invited you to choose your favorite
YouTube Space Lab experiment ideas from sixty finalist teams, and today we have our winners! More than 100,000 of you cast your votes that combined with the scores from our panel of judges to decide the regional winners for the final stage of the competition.
Here at Google India, we’re particularly happy to announce that the Asia Pacific regional winner in the 17-18 category is Sachin Kukke from Bangalore. His experiment focuses on the thermal conductivity of ferrofluids (aka liquid magnets).
Find out the other winners below, and of course, you can
meet them all on the Space Lab Channel.

The six regional winning teams will travel to Washington, D.C., where we’ll announce the two global winners (one team from each age group). These two winners will have their experiments performed 250 miles above Earth aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and live streamed on YouTube as part of a global event celebrating science and space. While in Washington, all the teams will take part in a series of activities to honor their achievements, including the opportunity to experience weightlessness on a
ZERO-G flight.
Space Lab invited budding scientists to submit a YouTube video describing an idea for an experiment that could be carried out aboard the ISS. The channel, which serves as a launch pad for discovering great space and science videos on YouTube, has received more than 50 million views worldwide throughout the course of the competition. This week we’re uploading interviews with the winners in their hometowns, so
