More than 1,800 teen researchers came to the Valley of the Sun this week (May 12-17). Those who shone brightest took home big prizes. The prizes are from the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). Top winner Krithik Ramesh took home $75,000. He developed a system to help doctors do spinal surgery (脊椎外科手术) better. Using the technology, doctors can finish the surgery more quickly.
Krithik’s system can map a patient’s spine. It can give doctors advice about how to carry out spinal surgery. It can be used not only in cities, but also in the countryside. The new system could take the place of the methods being used by today’s doctors, says Krithik,16, who attends Cherry Creek High School in Greenwood Village, Colo, USA. Krithik’s project won the Gordon E. Moore Award. It’s named for a founder of Intel. Other winners took home sizeable awards as well, this year. Together, these awards totaled about $5 million.
The Intel ISEF has been honoring (表扬) young researchers since 1950. This competition was created and is still run by Society for Science & the Public(SSP). It is the world’s largest international pre-college science competition. Now supported by Intel, the 2019 ISEF brought together students from more than 80 countries and areas.
“I am inspired by all of the creativity on show this week,” said SSP President Maya Ajmera. “Congratulations to our winners and all our finalists. They are, showing that world-changing ideas can come from anywhere in the world.”.

When I was still young in my high school, my mother dragged me to play basketball to lose weight. Therefore, it turned out to be a bitter failure because I devoted my time on study. One day, a friend of me contacted me and suggested that we start to swim. Without any hesitation, I agreed because we all thought that it was coolest thing in the world. I couldn’t forget the day on that I was thrown into the cold water. Fortunately, I survived. Honest speaking, I had a hard time recovered from the shock. Then my friend teaches me to hold my breath underwater. Finally, I succeeded. Now realizing that having sports are beneficial to my health, I develop a strong taste for swimming, which becomes part of my life.
