The SSTFI is affiliated with the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair, the world's premier pre-collegiate science fair. The SSTFI is open to any student in the state of Iowa in grades six through twelve. During the event over 400 student research projects presented by more than 500 students are judged on the following criteria: creative ability, scientific thought or technology goals, research thoroughness, technical skill, clarity and dramatic value in the oral presentation.
The event culminates with the Grand Award Ceremony where over $80,000 in scholarships and prizes provided by generous Iowa sponsors are awarded to Iowa students for their excellence in research. In addition trips to the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair are awarded to the top two individuals, the top team project and their teachers.
