We’re just six weeks away from my favorite event of the year; the Intel Science Talent Search. As you know, last week we announced the 40 finalists who will head to D.C. for a week in March to compete for $630,000 from the Intel Foundation! When reviewing the list of 2010 finalist, I was awe-struck by the caliber of projects in this year’s competition! There are a number of intriguing projects on this year’s roster.

To name a few:

• Relationships between Oncologist Gender, Participatory Decision Making, Anxiety and Breast Cancer Cure – Kevin Xu

• Language Perception, Production, and Memory: A Comparison of Older and Younger Adults -Yuval Calev

• Traveling the Interplanetary Superhighway: An Autonomous Spacecraft Navigation System- Erika DeBenedictis

I look forward to not only meeting these amazing students in Washinton D.C. but to following their careers through college and beyond as they are the next generation of leaders. Watch inspiredbyeducation.com and @intelinspire on twitter for more details on each of the 40 finalists over the next few weeks and join us in congratulating these students for their remarkable work on our Speak Up Page!
