Today, we’d like to congratulate the 40 Intel Science Talent Search (STS) Finalists for their groundbreaking research in science and math innovation.

From measuring indoor air pollution caused by paraffin and soy candles to building a clearer hearing assistance device, these young innovators reflect the best and brightest in the U.S. This year’s finalists come from 18 states and represent 36 schools across the country. New York has the highest number of young innovators in this competition, followed by California, Texas and Illinois.

From March 11-16, finalists will gather in Washington D.C. to compete for $630,000 in awards. The finalists will undergo a rigorous judging process, meet with national leaders, interact with leading scientists and display their research at the National Academy of Science. The top winner will receive $100,000 from the Intel Foundation.

Join us in congratulating these students for their remarkable work on our Speak Up Page!
