For the first time in the prestigious national math and science contest's nine-year history, girls were awarded both grand prizes.
In a first for the prestigious Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology for U.S. high school students, girls walked away with top honors in both the individual and team categories.
The individual grand prize of a $100,000 scholarship went to Isha Jain, a senior at Freedom High School in Bethlehem, Pa., for research into bone growth. Results of the nine-year-old competition were announced on Dec. 3. As winners of the team grand prize, Janelle Schlossberger and Amanda Harinoff, seniors at Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School in Plainview, N.Y., will split a $100,000 scholarship awarded for their research on tuberculosis.
That is just wonderful. (http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/dec2007/tc2007123_368568.htm?chan=top+news_top+news+index_ technology)
