<p>This board is for people to talk about people who know or are siemens semi finalists. Congratulations</p>
<p>What about the regional finalists?</p>
<p>yaay siemens! anyone know what the award package is? :D</p>
<p>of course if you are a semi finalist u can post on this board too</p>
<p>sorry, i meant finalist</p>
<p>i'm a semifinalist! :) i've never really done anything like this before though .. what does this entail? how prestigious/important is it really? and what exactly is the "recognition package"?</p>
<p>Hey everyone, I'm a semifinalist! Since we didn't advance XD, why don't we post a small description of our projects?</p>
<p>what's "in" right now in terms of technology? someone else posted that the recognition package was a digital camera in 2004, an ipod shuffle in 2005, and a 1gb zen v plus in 2006
so i'm guessing we'll be getting something worth $100ish that's "in" nowadays</p>
<p>I sent mine in, but nothing :(
Someone from my school got Semifinalist.</p>
<p>I got Regional Finalist. I wonder if we get the same perks the semifinalists do in addition to the finalist stuff.</p>
<p>yeah u do.
Semifinalist as well.</p>
<p>Hey guys, first of all, congrats! For the gift package, I've heard from semifinalists of previous years that we receive random prizes including a backpack, MP3 player, and certificate.</p>
<p>By the way, do any of you guys know how selective the semifinalist process was? As in.. how many entries were there in total anyway?</p>
<p>Siemens said it received a little over 1,000 entries. Intel STS gets about 1,500.</p>
<p>Siemens semifinalist and regional finalist! Well, last year :)</p>
<p>For the prize, you get a backpack, some miscellaneous stuff like cards, band aids, MP3, tape,...</p>
<p>Oh btw, USA Today also publishes an ad that lists all the siemens semifinalists so that's pretty cool. Congrats to the semifinalists and regional finalists!</p>
<p>did anyone get their award packages yet? lol</p>
<p>I know some Troy friends who got this. Mwahahah, gotta love my school.</p>
<p>:P Check the list for last year's winners ;) We pwn the Siemens.</p>
<p>Too bad i suck at science!</p>
<p>got the prize package today!!!</p>
<p>Prize package contains: hand-powered flashlight, LED clip-on lights, booklight, fluorescent lightbulb, 1GB USB bracelet, backpack, luggage tag, monitor calendar sticky strip, large t-shirt that says semifinalist and lists all the semifinalists, playing cards with factoids about Siemens on them, a folding pen, a copy of the Oct 25 USA Today, a certificate in a nice black cardboard frame, and best of all, bubble wrap!</p>
<p>Actually, the main prize is a digital picture frame that also plays music and video. Ah!</p>
<p>Wow! that much random stuff? now I'm looking forward to my package!</p>
<p>I wanted a camera... :D</p>
<p>Man, it sucks for me. My dad took all the stuff--the only thing I got to keep was the wind-up flashlight. :(</p>
<p>But the flash light it pretty cool, but I would have like the other stuff, too. </p>
<p>Anyway, do any of you know how many projects get chosen as semifinalist all together--including individual and group projects?</p>
<p>Thanks all!</p>
