Solon High School junior Raja Krishna is back in Solon after spending a week among the world’s top student scientists at the 2010 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair Grand Awards Ceremony. Raja qualified for the international competition sponsored this year by Google in San Jose, California, by participating in the science fair process at local, state, regional and national competitions. His project, Factors Affecting the Prescription Volume (V100) of the Tandem/Ring HDR Applicator, earned a fourth place award in the Medicine and Health Sciences category. Raja also won a commendation award from Google. “The 1,600 youths from around the world who attended this week’s Intel International Science and Engineering Fair showed me that the next generation of scientific and technological innovation is exciting and thriving,” said Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini. “I hope that the energy these high school students exhibit about math and science will inspire yet another generation of innovators, scientists and entrepreneurs, which will improve our world.” |
