NEW YORK, Dec. 5  /PRNewswire/ -- They may look like your average teenagers, but spend a little time with them and you'll learn there's nothing average about them.  They are the winners of the 2006-2007 Siemens Competition -- the nation's premiere math, science and technology competition for high school students.  The prize is almost $1 million in combined scholarships.

The top winner in the Individual Competition receives a whopping $100,000 scholarship, while the winners of the team competition share one hundred grand.  However, competition organizers point out that all of the finalists are winners since they beat out more than 1,600 applicants who registered for this year's competition.

This year's finalists' projects included cutting edge research that could lead to the early identification of cancer, the prevention of Parkinson's disease, and the detection of bioterrorist agents.
