If your gift list this holiday season includes a smart speaker for a science enthusiast, you came to the right place. We pitted Amazon’s Echo Spot against a Google Home Mini to see which proved victorious in a science-themed quiz.  ↓↓More info and references below↓↓

If you want to see the full quiz we gave our smart speakers, along with some additional comments from us, check out https://bit.ly/smartspeakersciencequiz.

And if you’ve got a smart speaker, send us video of you asking your favorite science questions. Be sure to tag us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. 

Don’t own a smart speaker? You can still send us quiz questions on social media, and we’ll ask our favorites during a Facebook Live after Thanksgiving.
