Intel ISEF

The State Science and Technology Fair of Iowa is an Intel ISEF-affiliated science fair.

The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), the world’s largest international pre-college science competition, annually provides a forum for more than 1,500 high school students from over 40 countries to showcase their independent research. The ISEF is the premiere science competition in the world exclusively for students in grades 9–12.

Each year, millions of students worldwide compete in local and school-sponsored science fairs; the winners of these events go on to participate in ISEF-affiliated regional and state fairs from which the best win the opportunity to attend the ISEF. The ISEF unites these top young scientific minds, showcasing their talent on an international stage, enabling them to submit their work to judging by doctoral level scientists—and providing the opportunity to compete for nearly $4 million in prizes and scholarships.

The Intel ISEF 2008 Presented by Agilent Technologies will be held May 11-17, 2008 in Atlanta, GA. http://www.intelisef2008.org/

An Intel ISEF-affiliated science fair is a science competition that is a member of the Intel ISEF network. These competitions exist in every state in the U.S. and over 40 countries. All Intel ISEF-affiliated science fairs register with Society for Science & the Public and must consist of five participating high schools or 50 students in the 9th-12th grades. Fairs are conducted at local, regional, state and national levels.

Before participating in the Intel ISEF, a student must compete at an Intel ISEF-affiliated science fair. Each affiliated fair can send two individual project finalists and one team project to compete in the Intel ISEF. For more information, click these links. (source: Intel International Science Fair)
