Eight students to represent India at Intel Science Fair


Bangalore: Eight students who have been successful at India Initiative for Research & Innovation in Science (IRIS) with their Science and technology projects will represent India in the 2010 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) at San Jose, California from May 9-14.
The students (four in individual category and two each in the Team category) with their winning science and engineering projects will compete against more than 1500 others from various countries, an Intel statement said.
As the world's largest pre-college science fair and the only global science competition for students in grades 9-12, the Intel ISEF, is a program organized by Society for Science and the Public (SSP), it said.
The Intel ISEF winners are judged on their creative ability and scientific thought, as well as the thoroughness, skill, and clarity shown in their projects.
At the national level, IRIS encourages only research based science projects, the statement said.
At the week-long Science and Engineering Fair, students will have the opportunity to meet leading scientists and exchange ideas on various evolving topics in Science, Research and Technology, the statement said.
