Six Indian American high school students from around the country are among the 40 finalists named by the Intel Science Talent Search committee Jan. 27. Their projects span space science, mathematics, chemistry and physics and, this March, they will face a virtual inquisition in Washington when highly qualified judges will grade their projects. The top prize is $100,000 from the Intel Foundation.
Considered the most prestigious, the competition attracts thousands of applicants from around the country. The list is whittled down to a roster of 300 best projects. Those semifinalists undergo further scrutiny from a panel of judges and a shortlist of 40 is drawn up. The Intel Science Talent Search is a program of the Society for Science & the Public.
