Gary Allen Montelongo won $10,000 for a science project on train derailment. Montelongo built and coded an experiment on railroad suspension, then won a national competition. AdvertisementThe internship ended, but Montelongo couldn't get the derailment off his mind, so he went down to the train tracks near his house. Then he built three sets of model railroad tracks out of foam and fitted them with three different types of springs: fresh new springs, midlife springs, and old, worn-out springs. This mimicked the different suspension systems he'd seen at the train tracks near his home.

"But they also feel the pressure of wanting to win and the pressure of going to college," she told Business Insider last week. The biggest mistake that parents with ambitious, curious kids can make is adding to that pressure, she said. Stepping back and letting the kids do the workGrace Sun holds an OECT device that helped her win the ISEF science fair. "We never pressure them," Maria Estrada, whose two children have both competed and won awards at ISEF, told Business Insider. Sun told Business Insider she had to miss hours of school to work in a university lab for her project.

Read previewAchyuta Rajaram won this year's Regeneron Science Talent Search $250,000 top prize for his work on making machine learning more efficient and safer. Beating out 2,000 competitorsParticipation in Regeneron Science Talent Search has grown and shrunk over the years, reaching its peak in the late 1960s during the Apollo missions. Achyuta Rajaram said he was shocked to take home the top prize at the Regeneron Science Talent Search. AdvertisementRajaram plans to continue studying computer science at MIT in the fall. His advice to anyone who wants to apply for the Regeneron Science Talent Search is to "be really, really curious about everything."

☆ A middle-schooler just won $25,000 for inventing a fire-detection device that works faster than the average smoke detector
  + stars: | 2023-11-05 | by ( Katie Hawkinson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The device works quicker than the average smoke detector by using a thermal camera. "That was really moving for my family because it was something that we had never really experienced before," Gill told Insider. It inspired her to create a fire-detection device that could identify fires faster than an average smoke detector and send a text to users to alert them of a fire. Ajmera told Insider the 30 finalists were judged on two factors: the projects themselves and a series of surprise challenges they completed in pre-assigned teams. "During the challenges and throughout the competition, what we understand is she exhibited leadership, collaboration, she exhibited grace, and critical thinking skills," Ajmera told Insider.

The world's largest high school science fair starts Sunday in Dallas, Texas. At the world's largest science fair, which starts Sunday in Dallas, there are projects centered on clean energy, climate change, artificial intelligence — and school shootings. Both teenagers grew up in places affected by school shootings – and both said the threat feels ever-present. 'Armadillo Skin': the Bulletproof backpack insert16-year-old Ava Cotroneo with her bulletproof backpack she hopes can protect children during school shootings. Finalists at the international science fair often go on to patent their products or set up companies.
