Out of the 1,600 applicants, 300 are chosen as semi-finalists. Next week, the field of 300 will be narrowed to 40 future inventors, scientists, Intel engineers' :) from across the country that will converge on Washington D.C. this spring to compete for over $1 million in awards and scholarships ranging from $5,000 scholarship grants and laptop computers to the grand prize of a $100,000 college scholarship.

It is so impressive what these students are able to accomplish. This generation has so many resources available in both science and technology. It's going to be amazing to see them put some of their ideas into real practice in the coming years. So cool of Intel to recognize some of their work!
