Ask HN: Any science fair alums out there?

I'm a current high school senior, heavily involved in science fair (comp sci and behavioral) up to the International level for the past 7 years. I know at these fairs, there's always a huge emphasis on the next "Nobel Prize winners", and not as large an emphasis on starting companies.

I know there're some fundamental differences in research that goes on to academia vs commercialized into a company... but any thoughts on what we should do to encourage entrepreneurship along with research?
