Interested in Getting Involved?
Enter an Intel ISEF-Affliated Science Fair
All participants attend the Intel International Science and
Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) after being selected by their local Intel
ISEF-affiliated fair. The affiliated fairs are conducted at local, regional,
and national levels. Each affiliated fair is permitted to send two individual
project finalists and one team project to compete in the Intel ISEF.
Affiliated fairs in your area*.
How to Start Your Project
The earlier you start your project, the better. Many
students begin planning their research at the end of the school year so that
they can conduct research during the summer and fall. See the
Rules and Guidelines*.
Support and Encourage Students in Science Fairs
Science fairs depend upon the support, encouragement, and
volunteer efforts of teachers, parents, and communities. If you are the parent
of a student interested in participating, see
Tips for Parents*. If you are a teacher who has a student interested in
entering a science fair, see the
Teacher Checklist*.
Science Training Programs for Teachers and Students
Many of the Intel ISEF participants take part in a science
training program to help them with their projects. There are more than 300
training programs that take place throughout the year at a variety of
institutions, predominately at U.S. colleges and universities.

The Research Science Institute (RSI) is an intense summer
program where some of the most talented high school students come together to
do cutting-edge mathematics and science. Students conduct research projects
under the guidance of mentors from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(M.I.T.), the California Institute of Technology, and surrounding institutions
while living on campus.
