The 2017 Siemens Competition awards were presented at The George Washington University in Washington, DC, host of this year’s national finals event. Twenty-one high school competitors – winnowed down from an original pool of more than 2,000 – were judged on their research in topics that addressed issues ranging from better cancer diagnosis to better understanding black holes, and from cybersecurity to preventing deadly hospital infections. More than 1,800 projects were submitted for the competition this year in areas of biochemistry, biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, environmental science, materials science, mathematics and physics.
The Siemens Competition, launched in 1999 by the Siemens Foundation, increases access to higher education for students who are gifted in STEM and is based on the culture of innovation, research, and educational support that is the hallmark of Siemens. The competition, administered by Discovery Education, develops a pipeline for the nation’s most promising scientists, engineers, and mathematicians.

PARA SNOWBOARDER GOES FOR THE GOLD IN 2018 WINTER GAMES
Overcoming unexpected adversity is challenging in any field, but Keith Gabel has done it flying down a mountain on a snowboard.
Competitive para snowboarder Keith Gabel is here to share his personal story of overcoming a life-changing workplace industrial accident, to becoming a world-class athlete. Having earned the bronze medal in the sport’s Paralympic debut, the U.S. Paralympian will talk about how he’s pursuing a medal in both SBX and banked slalom for the Paralympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018.
He’ll also discuss how he’s working with The Hartford to dispel misconceptions about people with disabilities and demonstrate what is possible when you focus on ability and overcome life’s challenges through a new campaign called “I Will.” The campaign urges people to celebrate the will to prevail and promotes the idea that when we’re willing to see challenges as opportunities to succeed, we all will.
Keith works closely with The Hartford, a Founding Partner of U.S. Paralympics, a division of the U.S. Olympic Committee, helping to positively change public attitudes and perceptions about disability.
