DailyDirt: Winners!
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Summertime, and the living is easy... but if you're a teenager with an interest in science or engineering, don't waste away your summer watching cartoon re-runs. Here are some kids who've worked on some cool projects outside of school.- Intel has honored some young innovators in science and engineering with awards and scholarships. Over 6 million young scientists apply to become one of the 1,500 finalists each year. [url]
- Microsoft has named its ImagineCup winners who competed with over 358,000 other students from around the world. The ImagineCup encourages students to build solutions that might help address problems such as: combating diseases, improving education, ensuring environmental sustainability, etc. [url]
- Google has picked three inaugural Google Science Fair winners. These winners were chosen out of over 7,500 entries -- so the odds of winning sound slightly better than some of the more established science/engineering competitions. [url]
- To find more interesting stuff on entrepreneurship, check out what's currently floating around the StumbleUpon universe. [url]
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Imagine Cup Proprietary
And there is also a “Windows Phone 7” category (chuckle), and the “Interoperability challenge” “... that best leverages out-of-the-box Microsoft technologies”, and also “Windows 7 Touch”.
