Taiwan Students Win Big at Science Competition

英特尔科展　台湾学生大放异彩

thce world's largest pre-college science competition that concluded recently. This competition is held for students in grades nine through 12 to showcase their independent research. The winning projects covered a wide range of fields including chemistry, animal science, electrical and mechanical engineering, physics and astronomy, medicine and health sciences, and mathematical sciences.

"The excellent performance is due to the students' hard work," said National Taiwan Science Education Center Director Chu Nan-shyan, the leader of the Taiwanese delegation. A total of nine students from Taiwan took part in this year's competition, in which over 1,600 young scientists worldwide were vying for more than 600 individual and team awards.

　　台湾学生在最近结束的 2010 年英特尔国际科学展览竞赛中，赢得 7 个奖项，该比赛是全球规模最大的中学生科学竞赛，举办的目的是为了让 9 到 12 年级的学生可以展现自己的独立研究。台湾学生得奖的领域十分广泛，横跨化学、动物学、电机工程、物理与天文学、医学与健康科学，以及数学等领域。

　　身为台湾代表团领队的台湾科学教育馆馆长朱楠贤说：『学生优异的表现是努力得来的成果。』台湾有 9 名学生参加今年的竞赛，总计有 1,600 多名来自世界各地的青少年科学家，前来角逐 600 多项个人与团体奖项。
