CHIPMAKER Intel announced the winners of its Science Talent Search competition yesterday.
The prizes have been awarded to ten top winners in the US and they'll share out £410,074 between them. The first place winner, Erika DeBenedictis of New Mexico, will receive £65,091 from the Intel Foundation.
Intel runs the competition in conjunction with the Society for Science and the Public, which is the oldest pre-college science competition in the US. The top prize given to DeBenedictis was for developing a software navigation system to help improve spacecraft travel through the solar system. Second place went to David Liu for his work on a system to recognize and understand digital images. Third place honours went to Akhil Mathew for a maths project on studying algebraic structures with ties to theoretical physics.
"These 40 Intel Science Talent Search finalists demonstrate that we have the capability in this country to cultivate the next generation of innovators, scientists and entrepreneurs," said Intel president and CEO Paul Otellini. "These young scientists are proof that curious, eager minds coupled with inspiring, knowledgeable teachers are the foundation for world-changing innovation."
And we certainly agree that the world can use as much of that as we can find and encourage. µ
