Southwest Association for Education in Biomedical Research - SwAEBR

What are science and engineering fairs?  They are an organized exhibition of work done which follows specific rules and guidelines.  The students compete through their exhibits and demonstrations of projects to the judges and public.  The exhibit represents a chosen category: Biology, Chemistry, Environment, Mathematics, Engineering, and Physical Science.

Local classroom and school fairs are the first step in the pathway.  Top 3 exhibits may wish to participate in other fairs.  Consider each fair a challenge to improve your project under your teacher's supervision.

Intel International Science and Engineering Fair 2012

David L. Lawrence Convention Center
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
May 13-18, 2012

 

The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), a program of Society for Science & the Public, and the world's largest international pre-college science competition, is coming to Los Angeles!

The premier global science competition for students in grades 9–12 provides an annual forum for more than 1,500 high school students from 65 countries, regions, and territories to display their independent research.

SSP is honored by Intel's commitment to this program through 2019.

How You Can Get Involved...

Watch our video to learn more about how you can volunteer and support Intel ISEF 2012 in Pittsburgh. SSP, Intel, and the Pittsburgh Local Arrangements Committee are seeking partners for Intel ISEF 2012, please contact us if you are interested in partnering as an exhibitor or award provider.

 


Interested in a mentor?  Visit the University of Arizona Researcher Database Home Page. At this site you can do key word searches to identify researchers. The data included is name, telephone, email, and a paragraph regarding their research interest. Most of these people are willing to help science fair students.

The best way of contacting the individual with questions is usually through an initial e-mail.  The students can state their question(s) and the researchers will have an easier time of answering if it is on their own time.  They are usually pretty busy with research and quite often teaching, so give them a few days.  It is suggested to contact a couple of individuals to get a wider selection of information.
