Over 1,500 high school students from over 55 countries attended the Intel ISEF, which is the premiere science competition in the world exclusively for students in grades 9–12. The Intel ISEF unites these top young scientific minds, showcasing their talent on an international stage, enabling them to submit their work to judging by doctoral level scientists—and providing the opportunity to compete for nearly $4 million in prizes and scholarships. R. Iyengar won 3rd place award and the team of A. Au and J. Wu won 4th place award.
