THINK BEYOND Intel International Science and Engineering Fair 2019 Program May 12 – 17, 2019 Phoenix, Arizona Intel International Science and Engineering Fair About the Intel ISEF The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), a program of Society for Science & the Public, is the world’s largest international pre-college science competition. The Intel ISEF is the premier science competition in the world and provides a forum for more than 1,850 high school students from 80 countries, regions and territories to showcase their independent research annually. Each year, millions of students worldwide compete in local science fairs; winners go on to participate in Intel ISEF-affiliated regional, state and national fairs to earn the opportunity to attend the Intel ISEF. Uniting these top young scientific minds, the Intel ISEF provides the opportunity to finalists to display their talent on an international stage, while enabling them to submit their work for judging by doctoral-level scientists. The Intel ISEF awards nearly $5 million in prizes and scholarships annually.

We are very happy and excited to have you here. Many of you have traveled far and wide for this amazing experience and we hope you enjoy your time at this enriching experience. We encourage you to make new friends, ask questions during the exciting sessions, and embrace the spirit of our theme to “THINK BEYOND” in the following three ways: BEYOND YOURSELF: There is perhaps no greater collection of brainpower in one place than Intel ISEF! Innovation doesn’t happen in a vacuum, so take advantage of this chance to learn from your fellow Intel ISEF finalists as well as the judges, panelists, and Nobel Laureates. Step outside your focus area and take it all in! BEYOND DOUBT: Our world faces many challenges, and it’s important to remember that the status quo defines only what hasn’t been discovered yet. The ideas that the Intel ISEF community are bringing into existence through hard work and collaboration will fundamentally change the world in ways that are impossible to imagine today. Think deeply about what impact your work can have on the planet, or just a single person. Believe in yourself- always! BEYOND BARRIERS: You will meet people from many countries and cultures during this action-packed week. Take this opportunity to look beyond your differences of language or appearance and find what brings you together. Whether you’re a finalist or Welcome from Intel from Welcome a fair director, you can build relationships and foster community that will enrich your perspective. Also, I want to express my gratitude to you for helping to create this memorable experience, and to the many dedicated families, supporters, and volunteers who make the event possible. As you continue your journey to build a better world, remember the great words of Intel’s co- founder, Robert Noyce, “Don’t be encumbered by history. Go off and do something wonderful.” Welcome to 2019 ISEF, Pia Wilson-Body President, Intel Foundation 2 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair 2019 Society for Science & the Public Maya Ajmera President & CEO Publisher, Science News Welcome from the Society from & the Public for Science Welcome Welcome to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair 2019! Congratulations on being selected to compete at Intel ISEF! Tens of millions of students compete in science fairs every year around the globe, with only about 1,800 students invited to join us as a finalist. You are truly among an elite group. Alumni have gone on to win some of the most prestigious awards, including being named Nobel Laureates and MacArthur Prize winners, they have gone on to launch companies and they have gone on to academia to teach the next generation of scientists and engineers. While you are here, I encourage you to take advantage of everything that Intel ISEF has to offer, including connecting with your fellow finalists. The nearly $5 million being given away in awards this week is not the only benefit of attending Intel ISEF. The real prize is the opportunity to connect with so many young scientists from around the world. Many Intel ISEF alumni stay in touch with one another, developing not only lifelong friendships, but also collaborating profes- sionally later in life. I also look forward to meeting you – the top young innovators from around the world – to hear more about your ideas and research. When I was a high school student, I too participated in science fairs – I understand the hard work and sweat equity that has gone into each and every project on display here this week. It’s extraordinarily exciting to think about the fact that the projects being judged here this week seek to take on and solve some of our world’s greatest challenges. You are tomorrow’s problem solvers and the stewards of our future. Please enjoy this week and celebrate your accomplishments. I also encourage you to thank the people who helped you get here – your teachers, parents and mentors who supported you through the years. It takes a true community to develop talent like yours! The Society for Science & the Public would like to thank Intel for their sponsorship, the many additional organizations that have provided support and awards, the volunteers from Phoenix and throughout the country who make this event possible, as well as the people who work so diligently to organize science fairs around the world. I hope all of you have a wonderful time at Intel ISEF 2019, and we hope to see you all next in Anaheim, California, for ISEF 2020!
