The Siemens Foundation reorganizes its Competition in Math, Science and Technology and will now award prizes of up to $100,000 for high school students that excel in scientific research.
The top prize is for the national level, whether it is won by an individual or a team, while regional winners will receive $3,000. Teams can consist of up to three participants.
