<p>Besides Siemens Competition and Young Epidemiology Scholars Competition, are ther any other competitions?</p>
<p>Intel Talent Search, ISEF. Some states have their own stuff as well. I mean, there are tons of competitions, but your wording suggests that you want scientific research competitions.</p>
<p>National Junior Science and Humanities Symposium. First your must enter through your state or regional symposium.</p>
<p>Siemens, Intel Science Talent Search, Intel ISEF are the three big ones; National Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (JSHS) is also well-known. Young Epidemiology Scholars is a little more obscure, I think, but good for projects that fit its criteria, which admittedly aren’t all.</p>
<p>Intel ISEF and JSHS are especially great because they start on the local/regional level and work up from there, so even if your project isn’t necessarily of “(inter)national” quality, you can still get some great recognition on the regional/state levels.</p>
<p>(Yes, I know I’m just repeating the competitions already given, but I’m trying to explain a little more what I like about each of these competitions, since I have exposure to all of them. Note that this is not the same thing as doing well in all of them. =P)</p>
<p>Thanks. How about math competitions? I have heard of AMC and ARML.</p>
<p>There are probably a lot of math competitions hosted by local colleges/universities. If you live in the northeast, there’s a very unique competition called M3 (<a href=“http://m3challenge.siam.org/)%5B/url%5D”>http://m3challenge.siam.org/)</a>. I did it during my senior year and really enjoyed it. There’s also Purple Comet (<a href=“http://purplecomet.org/)%5B/url%5D”>http://purplecomet.org/)</a>, which is free and online-based. It is math, but you are free to use any programming skills you may have. </p>
<p>Those are just a few I thought of off the top of my head. Math contests are really everywhere though! Just take a look around!</p>
<p>Let’s not forget National Science Bowl and it’s lesser-known cousin, National Ocean Sciences Bowl. They’re a lot of fun!</p>
<p>and the olympiads</p>
<p>First Robotics</p>
<p>ROV engineering competitions sponsored by marine Technology society</p>
<p>AIME in math</p>
<p>JETS a one-day engineering competition</p>
<p>There are what are called olympiads, which are competitions to select national US team in each science/math subject. So if you are particularly strong at a subject, you should definitely take those seriously.</p>
<p>Math: AMC, AIME, USAMO, IMO
Chemistry: USNCO
Physics: US phO
Computer science</p>
<p>Those competitions are purely academic, at the advanced high school level.</p>
<p>Then, there are those “research competitions” which require submission of a research project. If you can get mentored, and invest time into a very specific scientific problem, then you can try to participate. The most famous ones are Intel and Siemens.</p>
<p>Finally you hear about all those other math competitions, some famous ones being: USAMTS, ARML, Harvard-MIT competition, Mandelbrot…</p>
