People love stories about amazing kids. We see it all the time with our Intel-sponsored science competitions: world-weary reporters find hope and excitement in a high school senior with the beginnings of a cure for stage two colon cancer; communities small and large herald their local science-smart kids as miracles. In a company with a lifeblood called innovation, we believe that many more kids can make miracles if their natural curiosity is nurtured and stimulated. We sponsor science competitions so kids can see the possibilities of science - for the future.

In the next couple of months, here at Inspire, we will focus on just that: the future of those youth who were finalists in Intel science competitions. What are they doing now? Are there lessons in their paths for today's kids, and their parents? Check back in right here on Inspire over the coming months as we profile fascinating Intel science competition alums!
