Lubkin’s project, “Feasibility Assessment of a Novel Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Powered Hybrid Electric Vehicle,” will go on to be judged among 300 semifinalists vying to be selected as one of 40 finalists competing for the top award of $100,000.
The finalists will be chosen to attend the Intel Science Talent Institute in Washington, D.C., March 7-13. During their trip to Washington, these finalists will undergo further judging and share $630,000 in awards.
