Intel International Fair

May 11-17, 2008
Atlanta, GA

Another school year is here and it's time to think about science fair. While fairs are generally held in the spring it is never too early to get started. The best projects usually begin much earlier than the date of your school fair. Coming up with an idea, doing research, conducting an experiment, collecting data, and presenting the results in a professional/neat format requires time and hard work. The rewards make the hard work worthwhile for a number of reasons. The skills and knowledge gained through experimentation; "doing science" much like scientists do science; and having an arena to present the study are invaluable experiences that provide each participant a lasting lifetime memory.

For those high school participants that win Best of Fair at the region and state, the opportunities for winning money, computers, and full scholarships becomes a reality as they compete in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). This past year students from Mississippi did exceptionally well at the Intel - ISEF in Indianapolis, IN. The 2009 Intel-ISEF will be in Reno, Nevada and once again students are expected to do well representing the state of Mississippi.

Below are this year's registration forms for grades 1-6 and grades 7-12. Please read carefully the fair dates, deadlines, and fair rules. If you require additional ISEF rules, judging criteria, and/or forms please contact the Key Teacher at your school. Also, ISEF rules, judging criteria and forms can be found at www.sciserv.org/isef/. Some of these items are no longer included in the registration packet. It is the responsibility of the Key Teacher to make sure these items are distributed.
