Unbelievable how Capacitors, Resistors, Microcontrollers and some cables attract thousands of nerdy teenagers to a 4 months long tough competition in the area of math and computer science.
The Intel Leibniz Challenge now in its fourth year had nearly 3500 participating students from all over Germany and from some German schools in Poland, Brasil, Mexico, New Zealand and the US.

The challenge is tough but rewarding.
The winners were awarded with internships at the R&D facility Intel Braunschweig,
grants from Leibniz University of Hanover and hardware prizes with a value of more than 20.000 Euro.
And last but not least the competing teams learned a lot about what it means to be an engineer. Nearly 20 percent of the students that participated this year participated at least once before.
And according to the applause given when the organizers announced the Intel Leibniz Challenge for next year
many students will be competing again at the Intel Leibniz Challenge 2011.
Will you compete too?
