Intel ISEF Educator Academy 2010Reflection
– Key learning and impressions from the Educator Academy– Impressed with spirit and enthusiasm
– The most beneficial Shop Talks– Different countries’ experiences (Mary Helen Bialas, Carol Qin, Sheila
Porter)– Science fairs (Theresa Clark, Sharon Snyder, Alisa Lee)– Science education (Amanda Alonzo)
– Possible improvements– Warmer weather– More concrete suggestions, more examples
– What types of Shop Talks were missing?– Presence of research community talking about their view and involvement
in science fairs– Experience of the previous student participants
