Science competition in need of judges

Posted

The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair ( Intel ISEF), the world’s largest international pre-college science competition, is in need of corporate and university scientists and engineers, medical professionals, post-doctoral fellows, and senior graduate students for judging at its Science and Engineering Fair May 14-15 at the Phoenix Convention Center.

Fountain Hills residents Bill and Lorna Glaunsinger are serving as judge chairs for the event and are reaching out to the community for individuals interested in taking part.

Over 1,700 high school students from more than 75 countries, regions and territories will compete for over $5 million in awards in the event that will showcase many of the world’s brightest students. Student finalists have often stated that their interaction with expert judges is the highlight of their Intel ISEF experience. Over 1,000 Grand Awards judges are needed this year in 22 categories of competition.

According to the Glaunsingers, judging is the single most important activity of the Intel ISEF and the benefits of judging range from interacting with talented students to gleaning new ideas for research, expanding professional networks and promoting STEM education.

The Glaunsingers stated community participation is critical to the success of Intel ISEF and invite all interested parties to visit at student.societyforscience.org/grand-award-judges.
