"You don't have to be... a genius to do this. I did it with the support of my parents and a lot of hard work... I had to set my priorities and stick with them. I felt very small when I went off to Washington, D.C., but I guess the judges saw something in me. I learned that I can do something in science in the future."

Interested in Getting Involved?
Enter the Intel Science Talent Search
One of the best ways to prepare for the Intel Science Talent Search (Intel STS) is to begin a science research project as early as freshman year in high school. Students are encouraged to start their research early and participate in local science and engineering fairs before competing in the Intel STS during their senior year.
