Founded in 1950, the Intel ISEF International Science and Engineering Exhibition is the world's largest competition, which annually brings together more than 1,500 students from around 70 countries and allows them to exhibit their scientific papers. Students who have already won the Intel ISEF Regional Branch Science Competition (Intel ISEF Branch in Georgia is the Georgian-American High School) have the opportunity to attend Intel ISEF.
Intel ISEF brings together these scientifically minded young people and demonstrates their talents in the international arena. It allows students to submit their own scientific papers to internationally recognized scholars for evaluation. Contestants compete against each other for a $ 3 million prize pool and scholarship. Participants are judged on their creative ability and scientific thought, as well as on the detailed, sophisticated and skillful creation of the project.
Intel ISEF's annual results are covered by various media outlets, including: The New York Times, CNN, Forbes Magazine, ABC World News, The Washington Post.
Among the important awards of Intel ISEF are:
