Today, 300 American high school seniors became semifinalists in the nation’s most prestigious pre-college science competition. What an honor!

Each year, the Intel Science Talent Search, a program of Society for Science & the Public, brings together the most innovative young American thinkers to compete for $1.25 million in awards. This year’s brilliant minds were selected from the largest applicant pool since 1996 and truly represent America’s best and brightest future innovators. These students are on the path to curing cancer, developing the latest clean energy technologies, preventing the extinction of animal and plant species and having a profound impact on our world in countless other ways.

On January 26, 40 of these 300 semifinalists will be selected as finalists and will travel to Washington, D.C. in March for the competition with the winners announced March 15. Stay tuned, right here, on Inspire and through our Facebook and Twitter accounts so you can be the first to hear about and congratulate this year’s Intel Science Talent Search finalists and winners.
