The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) is the world’s largest international high school science competition. Society for Science & the Public (SSP), the publisher of Science News for Kids, launched this competition in 1950 when it was known as the National Science Fair.
Each year, the Intel ISEF brings together over 1,500 high school students from 65 countries, regions, and territories who are top winners of science fairs in their communities.
The Intel ISEF unites these top young scientific minds, showcasing their talent on an international stage, enabling them to submit their work to judging by doctoral level scientists, and providing the opportunity to compete for over $4 million in prizes and scholarships. The top project of the Intel ISEF each year wins $75,000.
