Something I've often wondered.

I had to gather the financial resources to by my own chemicals and stuff. That, of course, doesn't even include anything like a laboratory.

Where do these kids get the equipment and resources to do this stuff? A real lot of these require a real lot of money (on the development side). If it's sponsored, how do they get on the que? Who is selected and how?

Note that this is not a complaint: free opportunities for education and resources, at least to the gifted (can of worms now wide open) is a bargain. One success in a thousand pays for all the rest, economically, and helps the world out. A real bargain.
