At age 16 she has furthered a treatment for cancer. For that scientific achievement, she won the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair Gordon Moore Award, its top prize of $75,000. And now, Texas resident Amy Chyao is joining First Lady Michelle Obama in her box for President Obama’s State of the Union address. If she can fit it in, we hope she will blog here about her experience. Last year Li Boynton and Gabriela Farfan, of the 2009 Intel International Science & Engineering Fair and the 2009 Intel Science Talent Search, respectively, blogged about their experience. Not only did they sit in the First Lady’s box, but they also met the President and had photos taken with the couple following the event. Check back later in the week for a blog about Amy’s experience at tonight’s State of the Union.
