* Some of those kids (maybe yours someday) qualify for the international competition at the annual Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. Here the level of cash prizes is significant. In addition, those whose projects qualify for international competitions are judged by the best in the world: top scientists and people from industry. Imagine your child having his or her project judged by a Nobel Laureate. These kinds of things do immeasurable good for the confidence of the student and certainly encourage them further in all of their activities.

These are just of few of the many different benefits of science fair projects. Even if you, as a parent, secretly dread the idea, your help and encouragement with this endeavor will provide life-long advantages for your children.
