Synopsis
Do you want to develop useful skills, gain admission to top colleges, win scholarship money, excel at science competitions, and explore career options—all while having fun? By reading this book and using the advice within it, you will learn how to formulate a research project idea, find people who can help you complete it, effectively present it to diverse audiences, and participate successfully in research competitions. Whether you are a freshman rookie with a vague interest in science or a senior veteran striving for first place at the Science Talent Search, this guide will help you make the most of your research experience. With its testimonials from high school students whose lives were positively changed by their research experiences, this guide also aims to motivate and empower students who otherwise would not pursue science and research opportunities. In doing so, this book also seeks to encourage more students to pursue science and technology. "What Shiv Gaglani and his co-authors offer with this book is a well-crafted and practical guide for any high school student who wants to participate in (and win!) the Intel Science Talent Search, Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, or any similar research endeavor. As sponsors of these programs, we regularly get requests for exactly this information from all around the globe. I am excited to be able to point students, educators and parents to this valuable resource." Wendy Hawkins, Executive Director of the Intel Foundation "The Winners' Guide offers terrific insight and information to encourage increased numbers of students and teachers to seek out lab-based experiences to enrich and strengthen their scientific acumen." Joann P. DiGennaro, President of the Center for Excellence in Education
