Having a contest finalist may inflate the school’s superintendant’s ego but it does little to improve science education.



Probably the (second) biggest BS quote I have encountered on CC; as was that entire post.



Just like the beauty pageants, the current state of the Intel competition reflects how the judges lost their integrity and common sense years ago. How else could such hypocrisy and cynicism resist the most modest inquiry about how those projects that require multi-million dollar equipment surface?



I’m on that list. Total cost for my project? $23, and everything I did with my mentor was via skype and email (who I contacted myself).
