The Intel International
Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), the world's largest pre-college
science fair, brings together more than 1,200 of the most curious and
capable young science pioneers from more than 40 countries to share
ideas, showcase cutting-edge science and compete for over $3 million
in awards and scholarships. The Intel ISEF is the world's only international
science fair representing all sciences for students in grades 9 through
12. The ISEF has been coordinated for 53 years by Science Service, Inc.,
one of the most respected nonprofit organizations advancing the cause
of science. In its fifth year as the title sponsor, Intel Corporation
has committed millions to developing and promoting this competition.
In addition, each year a volunteer committee representing the host community
raises thousands of dollars to provide the exhibit space, support the
hundreds of judges, and provide for special events that are held throughout
the week-long event.
