  1. Intel International Science & Engineering Fair (IISEF) Phoenix, ArizonaMay 12-17, 2013.http://www.societyforscience.org/intelisef2013

  2. You will find the official International Rules and Guidelines of IISEF 2013 at: • http://www.societyforscience.org/isef/document • FORMS that must be completed & signed • Awards • Judging • Science Resources • Collection of videos

  3. ELIGIBILITY • Students from grades 9 to 12. • High quality projects. • Experimentation and design projects only. • Must be able to travel to USA (in May) with valid passport.

  4. Intel ISEF Rules Please read the International Rules & Guidelines and to determine the type of project the students(s) is (are) working on. Then establish which FORMS are required to fill out, dated and signed. ALL IISEF projects are required to fill out the following FORMS: • Checklist for Adult Sponsor • Student Checklist (1A) and Research Plan • Approval Form (1B) • Official Abstract Form

  5. In addition, because of the nature of the project, the following may also be required (as an example): • Regulated Research Institutional/Industrial Setting Form (1C) • Qualified Scientist Form (2) • Potentially Hazardous Biological Agents Form (6A) All forms can be downloaded from http://www.societyforscience.org/document.doc?id=401

  6. Intel ISEF Categories Animal Sciences (AS) Behavioural and Social Sciences (BE)Biochemistry (BI)Cellular and Molecular Biology (CB)Chemistry (CH)Computer Science (CS)Earth and Planetary Science (EA)Engineering: Electrical and Mechanical (EE)Engineering: Materials and Bioengineering (EN)

  7. Categories (continued) Energy and Transportation (ET) Environmental Management (EM) Environmental Sciences (EV) Mathematical Sciences (MA) Medicine and Health Sciences (ME) Microbiology (MI) Physics and Astronomy (PH) Plant Sciences (PS) ……..plus sub-categories for each category

  8. GET INVOLVED! The IISEF is a great experience for participants to meet other international students and present their projects in the “Science Fair Olympiad”. They will be judged by high profile Scientists and Nobel Laureates. …..and can win lots of awards!

  9. Approval before experimentation • Certain projects that are done in research labs and other institutions require the approval of a supervising scientist before the experimentation starts. This “approval before experimentation” information must be sent to SRC by the deadlines indicated below along with the appropriate forms that must be filled out. • December 14, 2012is the firstdeadline for submitting IISEF proposals to SRC for projects that require approval before experimentation begins. We strongly ask that schools encourage their students to send in their IISEF-level project paperwork**by the Dec. 14 deadline. • February 24, 2013 is the second and final deadline for submitting IISEF paperwork** to SRC for projects that require approval before experimentationbegins. This may be needed in case the scientist is away or the project starts in 2013. This date is also very close to the local fair dates when teachers may have a better idea of IISEF caliber projects. ** drafts of the ABSTRACT and RESEARCH PLAN (with experimental details and procedures) and required FORMS.

  10. Risk Assessment Form • If a project is done at home or at school, a supervising adult (teacher) must assess the risks involved. • To help with this procedure, a Risk Assessment Form is provided. Concern for the students’ safety is the priority. • If a teacher recognizes an IISEF level project then, based on the risk assessment form, have the student(s) fill out the appropriate IISEF FORMS in case that project is chosen for IISEF at the MRSTF. • It may be best if ALL projects filled out this form to cover all possible scenarios so that we do not miss out on those “really good projects” that become eligible at the MRSTF but can’t go because necessary forms have not been filled out.

  11. Final SRC Approval needed for IISEF • SRC has the obligation to sign off on all projects that win at the MRSTF to go on to the IISEF. • This means that ALL required FORMS must have been completed according to the International IISEF Rules and Guidelines. http://www.societyforscience.org/isef/document
