Hey everyone!
The Siemens Competition is one of the most prestigious competitions for high schoolers all over the world. Students submit personal projects or mentored research in any area of STEM for the chance to win $100,000. The deadline for this competition is September 20, so you have plenty of time
to complete a project over the summer.
Historically, Montgomery has had two Siemens Finalists, one of whom, Katherine Jin, gave a guest speaker presentation last year about her new startup company to fight Ebola at Columbia.
Definitely consider participating! Science competitions like this are extremely memorable and meaningful experiences regardless of which level of competition you get to. Let me know if you have any questions. Here is the website with more information:
