What the Award Rewards

The Standard · 评审标准

The S.-T. Yau High School Science Award — founded by Fields Medalist Shing-Tung Yau (丘成桐) — spans Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, and Economics & Financial Modeling. It asks for a genuine research paper and an oral defence before a panel of subject experts, and it rewards real originality far above polish.

Tian2 guides students from a tractable question to a written research report and a defended thesis, with subject-level expertise across every track, and holds the work to the standard the archive and white paper make concrete. AI-use compliance is reviewed against the award's 2024–25 regulations at every stage.
