What folks don’t seem to realize is that a Siemens Regional Finalist for an individual project is one of the top 30 in the country. There are six geographic regions; five Regional Finalists from each. Siemens National Finalists represent one winner from each of the regional competitions.

It is structured differently from Intel.

The kids we know did their own work. It was abundantly clear that they did so. Some work in a lab, but a decent number of Intel finalists work independently. Some subjects lend themselves to that approach more than others.
