 * Short Summary:** New York Times reporter Tom Friedman attended a dinner for the 40 finalists in the 2010 Intel Science Talent Search and called it his most inspiring evening in 20 years. What is relevant to service-learning folks here is the STEM abilities of our top high school students and the fact that they include a very large number of youth from immigrant families. Includes some great quotes about the importance of imagination and immigration to U.S. Success. A great quote: "In today's wired world, the most important economic competition is no longer between countries and companies.
