International Science Engineering Fair
Posted by Alan Eustace, Senior VP,
Engineering
You aren't likely to find your standard potato battery project
at the International Science and Engineering Fair (
Science & the People. Nor will you see many forced volcano
eruptions. You're more likely to notice the 1,200 students from
across the world coming together to share projects like "FDIS:
A Fast Frequency Distribution Based Interpolation Search
Algorithm" and "Probing for Cancer with Smart
shRNA."
In 2010, the ISEF will return to Silicon Valley, bringing talented
young minds together for innovative discussions and projects in San
Jose. We're very pleased to be sponsoring this gathering, which
will attract promising young minds from more than 40 nations. Since
we're committed to engaging talented minds, we will be
delighted to give this global community of future scientists the
chance to meet and compete. Prizes on offer include more than three
million dollars in awards and scholarships, in addition to
opportunities for internships and scientific field trips.
It's no surprise that this has been called the "Olympics
of science fairs" — we're excited to see what the next
generation of scientists and engineers has to offer! And you may
wonder why we're telling you about this now, since 2010 seems
far off. Budding scientists who want to compete have a lot to do
between now and then. Read more about
participation process.
