Colorado students

International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) held in Albuquerque,
NM May 13 - 18, 2007. Below is a listing of the award winners and their

The Intel International
Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), the world's largest pre-college
science fair, brings together more than 1,500 of the most curious and
capable young science pioneers from 50 countries to share ideas, showcase
cutting-edge science and compete for over $4 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 58 years by Science Service, Inc., one of the most respected
nonprofit organizations advancing the cause of science. In its eleventh
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.
