High School Students Awarded $ 100,000 from Intel – 1001zones, Naturally Science deserves high appreciation. A high school student in the United States (U.S.) are entitled to U.S. $ 100,000 prize after becoming champion Intel Science Talent Search (Intel STS) 2011.

Winner of $ 100,000 that was Evan O’Dorney (17), from Danville, California. He managed to amaze the jury because the project is to compare 2 ways to take account of an Integer Square Root and discovered the quickest way to obtain results. For those who do not understand

mathematics and calculus was confusing, but such equality is very important in intelligent computer programming. Even Evan found the formula to encrypt from the formula.
Intel STS is the most prestigious annual contest for students in the sciences at senior secondary level in the U.S. Since 1942, the contest was the first time in close cooperation with the firm Westinghouse in 1998 and began working with Intel Corp. SSP provides the opportunity for high school students who are gifted and intelligent to prove itself in competition with presenting original research that is recognized by experts in the world.

Not only U.S. $ 100,000 prize for first prize. Intel poured a total of 1.25 million U.S. dollars of funds to 10 winners and 30 finalists. The second winner who received 75,000 U.S. dollars is Michelle Hackman (17) from Great Neck, New York, with a project studying the psychological effects of the teens in the U.S. if they do not use the phone and studied the level of anxiety. Michelle is a blind student, who managed to train 10 staff to help him do his research and data collection.

The third winner to receive 50,000 U.S. dollars, is Matthew Miller (18), of Elon, North Carolina, the project found that bejolan lattice-bump from wind turbines can affect the aerodynamics and this lump could also enhance the ability of electricity.

“Creativity and leadership from 40 finalists who are gifted in Mathematics and Science are potentially huge future for the country and the world,” said Intel Corp. President and CEO Paul Otellini during award presentation on Tuesday (15/03/2011) in Washington.

Contest in 2011 was followed by 1744 students from across the U.S.. We’ll wait hopefully it goes Intel is also considering to hold similar events in Indonesia.
