NEW YORK, Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- They may look like your average
teenagers, but spend a little time with them and you'll learn
there's nothing average about them. They are the winners of the
2006-2007 Siemens Competition -- the nation's premiere math,
science and technology competition for high school students. The
prize is almost $1 million in combined scholarships. (See video at:
http://media.medialink.com/WebNR.aspx?story=32802) The top winner
in the Individual Competition receives a whopping $100,000
scholarship, while the winners of the team competition share one
hundred grand. However, competition organizers point out that all
of the finalists are winners since they beat out more than 1,600
applicants who registered for this year's competition. This year's
finalists' projects included cutting edge research that could lead
to the early identification of cancer, the prevention of
Parkinson's disease, and the detection of bioterrorist agents.
