Intel ISEF Educator Academy

    In conjunction with the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, the Intel ISEF Educator Academy brings together a select group of educators and government officials from Intel sites around the world to explore proven, innovative methods of engaging students in the study of science and math.

    Connecting science and math educators

    During the five-day Intel ISEF Educator Academy, outstanding educators present workshops on student research, project-based learning and other proven ways to engage students in the study of science and mathematics.

    Also, experienced science fair organizers share resources and provide participants with valuable information about managing, organizing, and preparing students for science fairs.

    Attending the Intel ISEF Educator Academy enables participants to build a global network with:

    • Ministry of education officials
    • Science fair officials
    • Officials from universities, academies, and professional organizations
    • Teachers experienced with student-centered learning
    • Science coordinators, instructional, and curriculum specialists
    • Mentors for student researchers
