Badger State Science & Engineering Fair

The Regeneron Science Talent Search is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science and math competition for high school seniors. This year’s top 40 finalists were selected from more than 2,600 entrants from across the country.

This year, finalists heard from one such STS alum, Marcian “Ted” Hoff (STS 1954), the twelfth employee at Intel and inventor of the microprocessor. He is a member of the National Inventors Hall of Fame and a recipient of the National Medal of Technology and Innovation.

Ted sat down with the finalists for a fireside chat, where he shared his journey and answered finalists’ questions.
