Fromscience news.The following caught my eye:
"Eric Delgado, 18, of Bayonne, N.J., won fifth place for developing a strategy to disable a pump that bacteria use to flush antibiotics out of their cells."
How do these kids do it? By that age, I was barely coming to terms with what I wanted to do; turned out to be mathematics, after a bit of exposure to Cantor's ideas and reading E.T. Bell's "Men of Mathematics".
P.S. Chandan Sapotka gives links to a talk and work of Neil Turok in the post Educating the next African Einstein! .
