Many young researchers get their start by trying to solve a problem
or fulfill a need in their own communities. When students dedicate
themselves to finding a solution that may benefit their community, “a
passion is ignited,” says Wendy Hawkins, executive director of the Intel
Foundation, which sponsors Intel ISEF. “Finding that passion and
fostering it can be the key to many students’ future success,” she says.
News as inspiration
Students
can find inspiration for their research almost anywhere. Newspapers,
magazines and even TV are good places to start. Toll, for instance,
decided to engineer a new way to build homes for refugees after seeing
TV reports about families displaced by violence in Afghanistan.
