Inspired to change our world.
About the Intel ISEFThe Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), a program of Society for Science & the Public, is the world’s largest international pre-college science competition. The Intel ISEF is the premiere science competition in the world and annually provides a forum for more than 1,600 high school students from over 50 countries to showcase their independent research. Each year, millions of students worldwide compete in local science fairs; winners go on to participate in Intel ISEF-affiliated regional, state and national fairs to earn the opportunity to attend the Intel ISEF. Uniting these top young scientific minds, the Intel ISEF showcases their talent on an international stage, while enabling them to submit their work for judging by doctoral level scientists. The Intel ISEF annually provides these students the opportunity to compete for over $4 million in prizes and scholarships.
About the San Jose Host CommitteeThe San Jose Host Committee was formed as a committee of the Board of Directors of the International Science and Engineering Fair 2010 Association and chartered with planning and executing local arrangements of the Intel ISEF 2010. The Host Committee established a theme for the Intel ISEF 2010 of “Mentoring Global Innovation” with a vision to “Inspire the next generation of global innovation.” The San Jose Host Committee is showcasing the value of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education with a key objective of leaving a permanent Silicon Valley K–12 legacy for STEM education.

GordonE.MooreAward
ThenewtopawardfortheIntelInternationalScienceandEngineeringFair
Gordon Moore co-founded Intel Corporation in 1968, serving as president and CEO as well as Chairman of the Board before his retirement in 1997. With degrees in chemistry and physics from University of California, Berkeley (B.S.) and Caltech (Ph.D.), Moore is widely known for “Moore’s Law,” the driving pulse of the semiconductor industry. He and his wife, Betty Moore, have created the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation and are among the world’s most generous philanthropists. He is widely admired for his technical leadership and his role as one of the creators of today’s Silicon Valley, as well as for his ongoing philanthropic role supporting environmental efforts and science education and research.
The Gordon E. Moore Award recognizes the Best of the Best among the outstanding students from around the world who participate in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. The winner is selected on the basis of their outstanding and innovative research, as well as on the potential impact of their work — in their field and on the world at large.
