Intel® Education Commitment



Intel® Education Commitment

• Each year Intel invests US $100 million to help teachers teach, students learn and universities around the world innovate-particularly in the areas of math, science and technology

• Sponsoring the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair is one of the ways Intel supports excellence and innovation in math, science, and technology– It brings together millions of young scientists to share

ideas, showcase cutting-edge science, and compete for scholarships.

– The competition encourages students to tackle challenging scientific questions through authentic research practices to solve the problems of tomorrow



Intel International Science and Engineering Fair

• A global celebration of scientific excellence

• World’s largest pre-college science competition

• 1,500 students participate annually from more than 50 countries, regions, and territories

• More than US $4 million in scholarships and prizes awarded annually



The Path to Intel ISEF

Affiliated Science Fairs

•Before competing at Intel ISEF, students must compete in an Intel ISEF-affiliated science fair.

•Approximately 550 regional and state fairs from the US and around the world affiliate with the Intel ISEF each year.



The Path to Intel ISEFAffiliated Science Fairs

• Students who win at the high school or local level, can then compete in a regional or state fair.

• Students who win at the regional or state level, may be eligible to compete at the Intel ISEF. Each affiliated fair can send up to two individual finalists and one team consisting of up to three members to represent them at the Intel ISEF.
