<p>*not sure if this post is in the right forum</p>
<p>has anyone does siemens/intel before? and does your project have to have significant results in order to compete/ get into semifinals? Say i was writing a computer program to look for cancer cells (someone has probabaly done this, I'm just making an example up), and I've done a lot of reserach but came up with no program, can I still use this to compete?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>To get to Intel, you need to basically win your regional/state competition. Generally those have significant results.</p>
<p>Although you can enter theoretical material, for a computer program you should have the physical coding. I did some research on vibrio parahaemolyticus for siemens but i was too lazy to actually ENTER the data...lulzIR1337</p>
<p>You can compete. Be aware the calibur of science projects for both siemens and intel are very high, often times research is performed at NIH, Harvard ,etc and are the level of thesis/graduate work.</p>
<p>With that, any project that enters will be pretty good and its dependent on the competition, kind of like college admin. Your grades and scores must be up to par for STS.</p>
<p>I won best in category Med+Health at ISEF, but got semis at westinghouse and nothing at STS.</p>
<p>whats STS? 2e4L: how did you place in the siemens? have an theoretical projects placed in semifinals before?
knickknackpatty: where did you do research, how long did you work on your project?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>I did Siemens this year and semi-finaled. I'm not exactly sure if your work can be theoretical, but then again, if its substantiated then I don't see why not. I tihnk the point of the project is to both prove that you had results for your project and establish how your results are helpful in the long run</p>
<p>how do people do research at universities? do you just go there and ask? or do you have to apply or something?</p>
<p>does this include a research on speech pathology or some behaviorals invovling speech and stuff like that? how does intel and siemens look at those kinds of things?
how high does the caliber does it have to be? i mean, some esteroic paper?</p>
