THINK BEYOND

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 1,750 high school students from more than 75 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 provides awards of nearly $4 million in prizes and scholarships annually.

Dear Intel ISEF Finalist, Educator, Families, and Fair Directors, and Special Guests:

Congratulations! We are pleased and excited to have you here for the 2017 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) in Los Angeles. You have traveled far and wide for this amazing experience and we hope your time here allows you to explore your curiosity, creativity, and imagination.

We encourage you to meet new friends, interact with panelists, explore the great work of others, and embrace the spirit of this year’s theme to “THINK BEYOND” in the following three ways:

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 fair director from Peru, or a finalist from Kenya, you can build relationships and foster community that will enrich your perspective.

BEYOND YOURSELF: When you consider the finalists, judges, panelists, Nobel Laureates, and others walking the halls, there is no greater collection of brainpower in one place than Intel ISEF! Please take advantage of this chance to listen and learn beyond your current focus areas. Remember, innovation doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

BEYOND DOUBT: Our world faces fundamental 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 will bring into existence through hard Welcome from Intel from Welcome 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.

Furthermore, I want to express my gratitude to you for helping to create this enriching experience, and to the many dedicated families, supporters, and volunteers who make the event possible.

After 2017 Intel ISEF comes to close, and you continue your journey to reshape and better the world, remember the great words of Robert Noyce, “Don’t be encumbered by history. Go off and do something wonderful.”

Welcome to 2017 Intel ISEF,

Rosalind Hudnell President, Intel Foundation Vice President of Corporate Affairs Intel Corporation

Publisher, Science News Welcome for Science & the Public from the Society

Welcome to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair 2017!

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 1,700 students invited to join us as a finalist. You are truly among an elite group. While you are here, I encourage you to take advantage of everything that Intel ISEF has to offer, including connecting with your fellow finalists. Many Intel ISEF alumni stay in touch with one another, developing not only lifelong friendships, but also collaborating professionally 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.

I think 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, the stewards of our future. And, of course, nearly $4 million in awards is up for grabs!

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 Los Angeles 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 2017!

Sincerely,

If a person claims to be an employee, call the front desk and ask if someone from their staff is supposed to have access to your room and for what purpose. • Always walk in groups. • Always use your hotel’s main entrance, especially late in the evening. • Be observant, and look around before entering parking lots. • Close the door securely whenever you are in your hotel room and use the locks. • Do not needlessly display guest room keys or convention badges in public. • Do not carry large amounts of cash or expensive jewelry. Store valuables in the hotel’s safe deposit box. • Do not offer money or food to the homeless people who may loiter near the hotels. • Do not invite strangers to your hotel room. • Make sure sliding glass doors and any connecting room doors are locked. • Report any suspicious activity to management.

Did you know? The Yellow Tang fish are in danger of going extinct in some areas of the world due to over-collection and coral bleaching. And this prized ornamental fish could not be bred in captivity. Until Now! The Oceanic Institute at Hawai‘i Pacific University worked for ten years to solve this problem. We are now successfully breeding Yellow Tang at our research laboratory in Waimānalo.

“ If you’re thinking about going to school for marine biology, you need to come to Hawai‘i Pacific University. There really is no better education to forge your career in a research environment working side-by-side with professors. It’s the best decision I made.” - Dean Klein, HPU Oceanic Institute
