Intel Education - Intel Supports Education and School Competitions

Inspiring Innovators. Enabling Entrepreneurs.

COMPETITIONS

Students of today are the innovators of tomorrow. Intel helps to enable the next generation of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs by sponsoring competitions and recognizing schools that demonstrate leadership in innovative math and science programs.

Inspiring Young Innovators

Science competitions are catalysts for improved education in classrooms. Research shows a direct connection between participation in student research and ongoing success in science, including successful completion of a Master's or PhD. That’s why we continue to invest in science competitions—to inspire a path to innovation.

Intel Science Talent Search¹ (Intel STS) is America's oldest and most highly regarded science competition. Forty of the brightest minds, selected from over 1,600 high school seniors, gather in Washington, D.C. to showcase their original scientific research and compete for $630,000 in awards and prizes. See the innovative projects and step inside the winner's circle.

Intel International Science and Engineering Fair¹ (Intel ISEF) is the world's largest pre-college science competition. Each year, more than 6 million young scientists from around the world vie for a spot among the 1,500 finalists. For those chosen, it's a chance to showcase cutting-edge ideas and compete for over USD 4 million in awards and scholarships.
