$3 Million in Awards up for Grabs.....


Yes, Yes, I know, nurturing > 1400 developing teenage science minds, to the tune of 3 million dollars, is not as "Self Satisfying" a display of "I Love Me So Much", as it would be, for instance, to use your companies money, to pay for a "College Chair" in your name, http://www.ece.uiuc.edu/news/hl-hwu-investiture.html

But I guess it will just "have to do".

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 9, 2005--A record number of young scientists and inventors arrive today to compete for $3 million in scholarships and awards at the 2005 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), presented by Agilent Technologies.
Representing 45 countries, regions and territories, 1,447 high school students will spend the week meeting with senior scientists, sharing ideas and presenting projects on such varied topics as alternative fuels, water quality and organic compounds to fight infection and disease. Students range in age from 13 to 20; the split between females and males is almost even. Nearly one-third of the projects are entered in the engineering or environmental sciences categories, and 19 percent of the students have obtained or are in the process of obtaining patents on their projects.
