Camilla Hurst, a student at the European School in Kirchberg, was honored on Friday 19 May during the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, held in Los Angeles.

The fair “is the world’s largest international pre-college science competition,” according to its organiser, the Society for Science & the Public. “Each year, approximately 1,800 high school students from more than 75 countries, regions, and territories are awarded the opportunity to showcase their independent research and compete for on average $4 million in prizes.”

Hurst received a fourth place prize in the “grand awards”, worth $500, in the materials science category, for her study, “The role of materials and surfaces in the transmission of bacteria in public places” (PDF).
