Much of the projects that the Intel/Siemens/etc. kids send in are actually “original”? Or, if a kid “does research”, how do they formulate their own project out of it? Because to my knowledge the stuff that professors are already working on are pretty extensive, it’s usually not something that’s thought of and built in a few days/weeks over the summer. Just curious.
