The contest is often referred to as "the nation's oldest and most prestigious" science competition, which is designed to reward young scientists and to recognize the richness of how they contribute to improving and enriching everyday life.
Semifinalists were selected from more than 1,800 entrants coming from 460 high schools in 41 states, and other American and international high schools overseas.
As a reward each semifinalist will receive $1,000 award from the Intel Foundation with an additional $1,000 that will go to his or her school, resulting in $600,000 in total semifinalist awards.
