Rachel Seevers, 17, of Lexington, Kentucky, received a $50,000 Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award for designing, building and testing a rigid, energy-efficient prototype of an underwater propulsion device that mimics the way jellyfish move through the water. This could allow for greater access to the world’s unexplored oceans.
