The Intel®   Science Talent Search® (Intel STS) is the nation’s most prestigious science research competition for high school seniors. Since 1942, first in partnership with Westinghouse and beginning in 1998 with Intel, SSP has provided a national stage for the country's best and brightest young scientists to present original research to nationally recognized professional scientists.

SSP is honored by Intel's commitment to this program through 2016.

Intel STS 2012 Announcements

Intel Science Talent Search 2012 winners have been announced at the awards gala in Washington, DC on March 13, 2012. Nithin Tumma, 17, of Fort Gratiot, Mich., won the top award of $100,000 from the Intel Foundation for his research, which could lead to more direct, targeted, effective and less toxic breast cancer treatments. He analyzed the molecular mechanisms in cancer cells and found that by inhibiting certain proteins, we may be able to slow the growth of cancer cells and decrease their malignancy.

Intel STS 2012 finalists were announced on Wednesday, January 25. Learn more about the Intel STS 2012 semifinalists announced on Wednesday, January 11.
