The Intel Science Talent Search 2010 Rules and Official Entry Form (PDF) are now available. It provides information about the Intel Science Talent Search and how to apply. This document has been updated for 2010, so teachers and supervising scientists are encouraged to review it closely.
The Intel Science Talent Search (STS) is America’s most prestigious science research competition for high school seniors. Since 1942, the competition has provided a national stage for 40 of America’s best and brightest young scientists to present original research to nationally recognized professional scientists.
Each spring, they
– attend the week-long Intel Science Talent Institute in Washington, D.C.
– present their research projects to the general public and members of the scientific community at the National Academy of Sciences,
– meet with distinguished government leaders and
– participate in a rigorous judging process.
Over $1 million is awarded annually to Intel STS participants and their schools. Awards range from $5,000 scholarship grants and laptop computers for all finalists to the grand prize of a $100,000 college scholarship.
Here’s a way to support that brightest (potential?) science star in your science classroom. You might even consider lending her or him your Tablet PC in order to compete successfully for one of these 40 appointments.
