For 70 years, the Intel® Science Talent Search®, a program of Society for Science & the Public (and formerly known as the Westinghouse Science Talent Search) has inspired generations of science enthusiasts, including seven Nobel Laureates, National Medal of Science recipients, and thousands of other distinguished program alumni.
The Science Talent Search®, a program of Society for Science & the Public, is the nation’s most prestigious science research competition for high school seniors. Since 1942, first in partnership with Westinghouse and beginning in 1998 with Intel, SSP has provided a national stage for the country's best and brightest young scientists to present original research to nationally recognized professional scientists. With generous support from the Intel Foundation, SSP has sought to reconnect with STS alumni in recent years.
If you were an STS finalist or are interested in a particular class of finalists we encourage you to visit our pages dedicated to each year of the program since 1942.These pages contain information about each competition, such as the winners, keynote speakers, and even the fact that, for a few years, girls and boys competed separately. Many of the pages also include alumnus updates.
Whether you have just become an alumnus or you participated in one of our programs decades ago, we hope you will continue to be a part of Society for Science & the Public as an alumni member. We encourage you to complete the Alumnus Profile to update your information in SSP's alumni network and indicate which activities you might be interested in participating in. Registered alumni receive a complimentary membership to SSP, which includes our monthly e-newsletter, featuring stories and photos of both current events at the Society and alumni updates.
