Students can be from , , , , , , , , who have completed projects, have unusual hobbies or interests, volunteer, or of course, excel academically. Here are some examples of our past coverage:

• a Boy Scout that for high school students
• fifth graders that to benefit students in Kenya
• junior high Science Olympiad
