For 60 years, we’ve played a key role in bringing young people together to stimulate interest in science and technology.

The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, a program of Society for Science & the Public (Intel ISEF), gathers the world’s most creative, intelligent and resourceful high school students from over 50 countries, to compete for more than $3 million in awards and scholarships and network with fellow students, academia and employees of sponsoring companies.

In 2010, Intel ISEF will assemble more than 1,500 finalists, Nobel Laureates, leading scientists and researchers along with 1,200 judges and potential future employers, for the world’s largest pre-college science fair. This six-day event is an extraordinary opportunity for Silicon Valley companies to establish corporate name recognition, nurture future technology development and encourage advanced education.

Competition in 17 science and engineering categories demonstrates understanding of scientific fundamentals combined with creativity in project areas such as energy, transportation, environmental science, medicine, health sciences, chemistry, behavioral and social sciences among others.
