WHAT: The Intel Science Talent Search (Intel STS) is the
nation's oldest and most prestigious science
competition. Take a glimpse into the future of
science in America as 40 of the brightest young
scientists assemble in Washington, D.C. to showcase
research that examines human audio processing, which
can be applied to speech recognition technology and
cochlear implants; a study of mosquito-borne equine
illnesses; development and optimization of a remotely
piloted Micro Air Vehicle; and a new method for
determining the age and mass of brown dwarf stars.
The students responsible for these projects -- and
many others -- will compete March 9-14 for
scholarships and prizes totaling $530,000. The top
prize is a $100,000 college scholarship. STS is part
of Intel's $100 million annual commitment to
education.
WHEN: Media are invited to attend the student project
display March 12-13 as well as the awards ceremony on
March 14. Both events offer the opportunity for
reporters, photographers and TV crews to speak with
the students.
