LOS ANGELES — An innovative statistical analysis of cancer-promoting genes earned a 15-year-old the top prize — and $75,000 — at the world’s premier high school science and engineering competition. Nathan Han of Boston claimed first prize at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair 2014 on May 16.
“Intel believes that young people are the key to innovation. And we hope that these winners inspire more students to get involved in science, technology, engineering and math,” says Wendy Hawkins, executive director of the Intel Foundation.
