Young Innovator Achieves Childhood Dream at Intel ISEF | Intel

[@RayWilliamJohansen]

That's how excited I got when I got a medal for participating.

[@anjopag31]

How the HELL do people make it to ISEF? Are mentors essential?

[@jenna2520]

anjopag31 sorry this is late but yes mostly. Both my brothers were in ISEF and they had a mentor help them to build and conduct their science project. They tested something with drones and the other tested something with kayaks.

[@bugayden2287]

I gagged on my donut

[@Kvvarken]

RayWilliamJohansen Same here

[@sofiagracenadela6458]

Ahahhahah

[@Cade786]

A long time ago I posted a vicious comment on this video about how he laughed as a girl. I am ashamed of that today. I really don't know what else to say other than I didn't even know who i was during that dark time. I know this is odd but I needed to apologize. Sorry, I've grown up now and I hope this kid has done and continues to do great things. We need more people like him and less intolerance and ignorance like I used to be.

[@cosmokoopalings3278]

+Cade786 You should have posted a vicious comment about how he's a fraud. Well, maybe not vicious, but backed up with an obsessive amount of research.

[@GuillermoCuadraNicaragua]

+Cade786 it takes a lot to recognise one's mistakes.

[@Johobobimus_askablonkita_III]

I'm glad you apologized

[@ryangross6886]

I'm still offended! JK I'm not, kudos to you though for realising you were wrong

[@paleobc65]

alot of trolls say things that they never apologize for, so props to you

[@PILI04]

And he's only 15...holy god.

[@giorgiolelmi8175]

Yeah, Holy God

[@toongoonation]

This kid has made one of the greatest discoveries in the history of our modern world. His effort will almost assuredly save your life or someone's life close to you. He is, at the age of 15, one of the greatest minds of our time. I am humbled.

[@fghu8511]

He deserves this .!!! For everyone who went to ISEF you are all winners!!!!

[@JohnJones-fh2uy]

Jack is a blessing to all of us, not just those of us who have cancer, are at risk for cancer, will never have cancer ... or even ever know of persons who are or might be effected indirectly by cancer. He's a blessing to humanity.

[@jerrys88]

Congratulations, Jack! I cannot even begin to imagine how proud of you your parents must be. Thanks to them too for raising such an awesome son.

[@Mr3R14N]

Nerd ? He's a genius. Wish there was more youngsters like him :) My uncle died from pancreas cancer too... He did a big thing for humanity, you guys show some respect for his amazing works

[@meralodem]

His excitement made me cry, wish you the best Jack!!!

[@MrArbeter]

wow only 15 and that smart am expecting more from this guy in the future

[@srevero1]

Can't understand the negative comments. Congratulations Jack! What you have done is amazing. So very proud of you and what you have done to help so many!

[@SiddharthBhandari_official]

isn't it awkward when he says this was his childhood dream.. he's still a kid.. imagine how many goals he's yet to achieve at this rate

[@cachildress46]

Amazing. You can see how passionate he is, not just about his research and developments, but about humanity and the lives of people in the world.

[@S1D3K1CK11]

the guy on the right of jack looks like a miniature bill gates.

[@ilyha6284]

And the guy on left looks like Mark Zuckerberg HAHAHA

[@Smileyldy08]

I absolutely love him! Loved his reaction, personality and enthusiasm. Congratulations!!!! :)

[@stap0510]

I'm an adult male, but still cried a bit when seeing the beautiful raw reaction of this young man. Be honest, you got moved too...

[@emmacloud4739]

I read his book, it's amazing!!!

[@esraakamal3519]

please, I want to know the name of his book.

[@elenaasalaa]

Me too, fantastix

[@EpicRainbowLollipop]

Such an awesome reaction xD

[@AllyRoseBryant]

You're a rock star Jack! You definitely deserved this prize with the amount of hard work you put into this experiment x

[@BaileySEA]

Yes Sara, Jack Andraka is most assuredly an inspiration to us all. I find few Americans that make me proud to be an American, but Jack Andraka surely does. I wish only the best to this brilliant young man. Many more successes.

[@nlpnt]

Best. Nerdgasm. Ever. This kid's going a long way, and I hope he keeps that enthusiasm all the way through.

[@fwachs11]

Congratulations young man! You are an inspiration for young and old! Be humble but be great and you will be loved by many!

[@EMINEMmbm3mlg]

He's so darn cute! I'm so proud of him! This is so amazing, I wish I was like this!

[@hannahfleenor9864]

i always come back to this video and get chills

[@sattyshamrock]

I hope his intellectual property is protected well and his effort well paid back....because this would save a whole lot people with the disease.

[@P3RS0NALIZED]

It is patented

[@braxma12]

@@P3RS0NALIZED No, he never could patent it. Because it was used before.

[@carolsimowitz8388]

I show this video to my 8th grade research class every year. It is a wonderful testament to the passion of truly believing in yourself and a commitment to being the best you can be. My greatest achievement as a teacher is when I can inspire young students to reach their potential: whatever that might be. Kudos to this amazing young man, I can only imagine how he will change the world in the future.

[@FlamingAmazingGaming]

Carbon nanotubes were used to help develop the test, the test involves the biomarker, mesothelin, found in specific cancers such as pancreatic cancer. The mesothelin can be found in the blood and urine and the dip stick used to indicate the presence of mesothelin costs $0.03.

[@dawnmariefalco]

Wow wow wow!!! I am an ovarian cancer survivor and God bless this child!!! He has made me have complete confidence in the future!!

[@momsluv25]

I have tears in my eyes too ! Such love & self-less person to care enough to help others:) Thank you Jack.

[@Jeffersol]

What an inspiring, focused, compassionate young man. The world needs more like him. Congratulations Jack, you deserve all the accolades & the money to pursue your vision! salute. Lew

[@musicis4life]

THIS YOUNG MAN PERSONIFIES THE TERM "HUMAN HERO"...I am INSPIRED and SO APPRECIATIVE of his dedication, passion and REMARKABLE WISDOM...

[@TheVenusRising]

What is there not to love here!! I love seeing all the young faces in this crowd and I especially love this kid. Congratulations!

[@Legilimentable]

Wow... that reaction made my day. Someone who shows that kind of pure honesty will have a great future =D

[@mightyrontor]

This is amazing. If he does NOTHING ELSE for the rest of his life, he's done more than the rest of most of the world. In years to come, he will have saved thousands upon thousands of lives. Well done. He has every reason to be proud.

[@sunsetofnemesis]

Amazing! this little boy proves our civilization its evolving in the correct path... OMG you blew me away Jack Andraka... My respects; I feel I have done nothing with my profession and I am a Medical Physician.... Amazing!!

[@SisterUnity]

LOOK at all those young people so dedicated to SCIENCE!!!! How wonderful is THAT!!!

[@iloveflipflops92]

omg look at how happy he is when he's announced as the winner! i wish i could have one moment in my life where i can be that happy :'D this kid is just wonderful. i hope he'll always be his bright, brilliant self

[@davickinator]

I love his reaction, going around and hugging people and the whole time his mouth is wide open. Though, if I won an award at INTEL ISEF i'd probably have a similar reaction haha

[@MrPison69]

hahaha I know that kid! totally blew me away with his reaction cause everytime I see him I say "hey whats up?!" and he is like "hi" and thats it!

[@RocketeerAndRoll]

This kid is incredible. He's what the world needs more of.

[@AleAbsolutable]

You are a hero

[@CorleneGreenwood]

A born genious! His reaction clearly states that he truly DESERVES the genious brain he has been gifted with. What an uplifting, positive and amazing achievement. It brought tears to my eyes.

[@claireswadling2965]

I'm so happy for him! His mouth was open so wide that it looked like he was trying to swallow the confetti lol

[@1arritechno]

A brilliant mind ; being very different, is a prerequisite to being a Genius ; Jack fits the Bill...

[@insidethenovel]

How could anyone dislike this? The kid is incredible... and absolutely hilarious.

[@DropDeadGhoul]

He is just awesome and i admire him a lot! God save Jack Andraka^^

[@tuttiefruttie66897]

so proud to say I was in the front row watching and cheering him on! It was a great week for the science students!

[@tamameg0788]

They're all amazing! I'm the same age as them and I haven't even done my ap paper yet, and they're already working at Universities! Brilliant people!

[@kriskarlaonline]

Aw, I absolutely adore his reaction! I'm sure it is an accomplishment he'll remember forever. :)

[@hounddoggy7]

So proud of him : ) We in Maryland had a wonderful year of progress in 2012. Cannot wait to see Jack contribute to our future progress!

[@WillBinks]

how could you ever dislike this, This kid is 15 and a science hero. What his future holds will be incredible

[@scotchbabii]

Kids are the future. They will succeed where previous generations failed. Congrats to you Jack, I see you saving a lot of lives.

[@kittenjarv]

I wept when I saw this Thank you Jack and to everyone of these students! These kids are amazing !

[@ramboram03]

Wow people are ruthless , he is just a kid and a brilliant one at that.

[@Morilonso]

so many people saying stupid things, this kid is simple great,, he as found a cheap, easy and fast way to detect pancreas cancer, but he can also detect others, so i wish him a great future,, cause people that has comment this news, didn't lost family because of cancer, and note, cancer is very deathly, but when is detected in the beginning people has many chances to live after medical treatment,,so i wish him the best

[@hugothatcher2089]

if he just walked up to the stage and said simply "THANK YOU AMERICA"

[@Miss0EH]

Congratulations to that young man, I can't wait to see how he and all the other participants will change the world.

[@BetuUuUu]

I do respect this kid too, but reading the comments I see so many people wishing the same for their lives, keep in mind that you're just looking him receiving the reward, people have their own problems. If you want this so bad too, so go get it! Whiling others people lives only make you unhappier, stick with you and get what you want!

[@OddHumor2]

God bless this brilliant boy and the people who gave him so much faith in his ability to conquer the unknown!! !!

[@akesha1]

Congratulations!!! The world is already so much better for his contributions! I can't wait to see what he does next!

[@EpicJoeKing]

Woah man, that's just awesome ! I always envisioned some 50 year old person achieving something like this! What you did is amazing !!

[@percent-yb2fy]

( Boy on right of the screen holding award) Bill Gates invented a time machine and transported himself back in time.

[@JyothiSwaroopM]

I thought the same

[@adammassey8159]

Jack you are wonderful and I hope your discovery leads to many lives being saved. Thank you for your efforts.

[@JoanLorraineN]

Jack gives me hope for humanity! What a FABULOUS young man! Nobel Award - get ready for this young man! I hope to live long enough to see him get this award!! GOD BLESS!

[@Xenostar99]

This is seriously amazing. He talks with so much knowledge at such a young age.

[@helena-gz4bh]

THAT'S INCREDIBLE could you imagine that feeling??

[@FTSsjc]

So i guess fighting cancer can be "fabulous!!!" Congratulations to the kid, great job

[@qti707]

I love this kid so much! Ohmygosh. The best reaction I've ever seen!

[@TheMenyDude]

To be honest, his reaction scared me a little bit, BUT, after what he did -he's right out there putting many scientists to shame with his research. He should have received a million dollars instead! He deserves to get the funding to continue on with his research. I sincerely wish him the best to succeed in his endeavors. We need more bright people like him.

[@davidp1847]

His uncle would sure be proud. It's sad that his uncle isn't around to see what an amazing young man Jack Andraka has become at just the age of 15..

[@kdonne01]

Jack, this is an awesome use of the 'super-hero' single walled carbon nano-tube. Brilliant concept and a deserving ISEF win for the MANY lives it will affect. I too lost a beloved uncle to pancreatic cancer because diagnosis typically occurs so late. I can't wait to see your follow on work. I'll be watching you!

[@alexacutiie]

My uncle also died from pancreatic cancer, this boy made history. God bless him :)

[@valentyniovaelena]

Gratulujem mladému mužovi k tomuto objavu. Keby takýchto mladých ľudí bolo viac.

[@strangerman100]

i don't understand a single word he said but he sounds very intelligent. i wish him all the best of luck.

[@BLKRASCAL]

Thank you, Jack! I feel as though I should address you as Dr. Andraka. Brilliant discovery and creation! Far too many people are dying due to this horrible pancreatic cancer. Again, thank you, thank you!

[@EmilyAliem]

Absolutely amazing. For a minute when he was explaining his method I was totally lost in all the scientific vocabulary. Its amazing for a 15 YEAR OLD to be able to have a larger vocabulary library other than YOLO and SWAG. Faith in humanity restored!

[@SusanNoonan]

He is 15 years old. His reaction is beautiful. Sheesh.

[@CHEEKY_MONKEY]

oh, i just wanna hug him!

[@dianasotelo3933]

This brings so much joy to me

[@7dolfen]

This is an example of pure joy.jack is a gift to mankind in being able to see things from a different perspective to the the benefit of mankind. Thanks Jack. :-)

[@Mustafamoutaz1994mm]

Yeah I remeber this kid I saw him on The Doctors TV show ! Great job Congratulations from Iraq to you ;) You're a hero .. Regards

[@apeape231]

....did he know he was going to win just by the announcement of the category? o-o

[@emmacloud4739]

I read his book, and it said that he had BY FAR the best in the medicine category. Loads of judges stood around his stand. He did, however, think that someone in another category would win. :)

[@apeape231]

OOOH I see. Been wondering for a year now lol.

[@royjs9108]

This is really late but essentially the way ISEF works is that the only choose the Gordon E. Moore Award from the pool of people who get Best in Category, which was already announced earlier.

[@treymay2561]

and the name was on a big screen that everyone was facing

[@irena1222]

His name probably appeared on the screen when they announced the category.

[@Ken4Peace2410]

Go Jack! It is Kendal from CSP, idk if you remember me but I was just watching the news and you were on it! Miss you! Good job by the way!

[@alvin_lopez]

The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet should be informed about this boy's work. Brilliant.

[@MinnyMomo]

I want to be called a nerd if i can change the world like this kid. Respect!,young man.

[@jxff2000]

when mom says you can get a happy meal

[@Mach504]

I know this guy in real life.....and to think he was hampering peoples daily compute 4 years ago by latching on to other people's legs.....he is an amazing kid...

[@entertainmentguru77]

i teared up..he was sooo happy

[@bojanowskib]

If the method is patented, and does what he says, that award will be peanuts compared with the money he'll make later.

[@waratenko]

People like him is what this world needs

[@Nazvar92]

My heart sank when he won...what an amazing kid.

[@tschafroth]

You are awesome Jack! Congratulations on your discovery and for winning the top award at Intel ISEF!!!

[@F2310R]

It is people like him that brings us all as human beings forward!

[@whisperycub]

Such an amazing, giving human! So glad he won. And man, his level of genius is so impressive!

[@pinkfloydtim]

He said he patented the entire process...guessing he'll be making a lot more than $75k. Good for him, the world needs more minds like his.

[@Charun81]

Very well done! This boy has a bright future, i wish him all the best.

[@marfeote]

Very emotional and honest reaction. Congratulations!!

[@pl3bian]

Kid is awesome. Good on you, kid. You deserve to be excited.

[@Linkage1992]

Words cannot describe how amazing this guys achievement was, and he fully deserves all the awards and recognition that come his way. But I still lol'd at his reaction when he got the award.

[@Deaffish55]

I love how happy he is. From 0:18 to 1:33 his face is just like :O.
