I am leaving tomorrow (Saturday) for the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I will return on the next Saturday, May 19. I may or may not have internet access. I will be the first Talossan ever to go to ISEF! Unfortunately, as part of Team Oregon, I will be representing the State of Oregon, not the Kingdom of Talossa.
Just so you know: I am not expecting to win anything. My project is in a rather obscure area (myrmecology) and I already did very well at the regional level. It is a huge prize just to get to ISEF, as the competition is incredible. A lot of the projects are graduate-student quality.
I will be away from my family for a week for the first time, so this is a very new experience for me.
For those of you who want to know, wikipedia says: "The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair is the largest pre-college scientific event in the world. Each May, nearly 1500 students from 47 nations compete in the fair for scholarships, tuition grants, internships, scientific field trips and the grand prize: a $50,000 college scholarship. All prizes together amount to over $4,000,000. The International Science and Engineering Fair was founded in 1950 by Science Service and has been sponsored by Intel Corporation since 1997."
The official website is intelisef2007.org
I will hopefully post pictures when I get back.
Wish me luck!
