EspañolINTEL INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING FAIR
(Redirected from ISEF)
The 'Intel International Science and Engineering Fair' is the largest pre-college scientific research event in the world. Each May, over 1500 students from 52 nations are flown in to compete in the fair for scholarships, tuition grants, internships, scientific field trips and the grand prize: one of three $50,000 college scholarship. All prizes together amount to over $4,000,000. Three awards ceremonies are held including: Special Awards Organization Presentation, a Government Awards Presentation, and the Grand Awards Ceremony. The International Science and Engineering Fair was founded in 1950 by Science Service and has been sponsored by Intel Corporation since 1997.
Although it is an international event, the United States almost always hosts it (the 1995 fair was held in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada; the 1996 fair was held in Tucson, Arizona, USA; the 2000 fair was held in Detroit, Michigan, USA; the 2012 fair will be held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada). The host city prepares a convention center and hotel accommodations for the event, hosts numerous events and manages college tours around the convention center.
The 2006 Intel ISEF took place in Indianapolis, Indiana, May 7-12. In 2007 it was held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, May 13-19.
Upcoming locations are 2008 Atlanta, Georgia; 2009 Reno, Nevada; and 2010 San Jose, California.
Contestants are selected from regional fairs that feed into the ISEF. These fairs usually encompass multiple states or entire regions of a country. The regional fair committee is responsible for managing the fair when their city hosts the event.
Individual science projects and team science projects both compete for prizes. Teams are composed of two or three high school students (grades 9-12).
Winners of the $50,000 grand prize scholarship at the 2005 Fair in Phoenix, Arizona were Ameen Abdulrasool from Chicago, Illinois, Stephen Schulz from Nordrhein-Westfahlen, Germany, and Gabrielle Alyce Gianelli from Orlando, Florida.
Example awards:
★ Intel Young Scientist Award: $50,000 Scholarship
