INTEL INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING FAIR

1,500 Innovators. Infinite Possibilities.

When 1,500 of the world’s best and brightest high school students turn their attention to the scientific issues of the day, the result is a brainstorm of enormous proportions.

At this year’s Intel ISEF, projects include: A potential vaccine for HIV. Improved treatments for cancer. A study on how naturally repellant plant extracts can be used to save endangered bee populations. The development of diesel fuel made from end-of-life plastics. Advances in controlling robotics via vocal commands or even brainwaves.

And that’s just a sampling.

With this level of intellect and creativity, the possibilities for the future are truly limitless.

Creating Organic
Batteries

The remote locale of his family’s sugarcane farm in Malaysia inspired Dzarul Dol Malek, an Intel ISEF 2011 finalist, to consider the possibility of an alternative energy source. His solution: using a common weed and brown sugar to create organic batteries.

Preserving the
Forest

When Argentina’s Clara Duarte and Emilce Espinoza discovered that trees in their neighboring forest were in danger of extinction, they created an awareness campaign to inform local residents of the species’ value. As a result, the forest was designated as a protected nature reserve, and the students were selected as Intel ISEF 2011 finalists.
