Intel International Science and Engineering Fair

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 premier high school science competition in the world and provides a forum for more than 1,750 students from more than 75 countries, regions and territories to showcase their independent research annually. 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 provides the opportunity to finalists to display their talent on an international stage and submit their work for judging by doctoral-level scientists. The Intel ISEF provides awards of nearly $4 million in prizes and scholarships annually.

Section 1 — Fair Information

1. What is Intel ISEF?The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), a program of Society for Science & the Public (the Society), is the world’s largest international pre-college science competition. Intel ISEF is the premier high school science competition in the world and provides a forum for more than 1,750 students from more than 75 countries, regions, and territories to showcase their independent research annually. 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, Intel ISEF provides the opportunity to finalists to display their talent on an international stage and submit their work for judging by doctoral-level scientists. Intel ISEF provides over $4 million in prizes and scholarships annually.

Intel ISEF is the world’s only international science fair representing all sciences for high-school level students. These students push the boundaries of science research. About one third of the students have patents or patents pending. Intel ISEF will be in Pittsburgh in 2018, Phoenix in 2019 and Anaheim in 2020.

2. About the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC)The Los Angeles Convention Center is located at 1201 South Figueroa Street in downtown Los Angeles.
