Hello Science Fair Friends, Sponsors, and Alumni,
The six top high school winners of the 2014 Connecticut Science & Engineering Fair are packing their bags and heading to Los Angeles, Sunday, May 11. (Sorry Mothers!) There, they will compete in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), the world’s largest precollege science and engineering competition.
Intel ISEF will take place from Sunday, May 11 through Friday, May 16. It is a tradition of our Fair to provide newsletters detailing our group’s adventures for our sponsors and friends. The newsletters will be emailed to you and will be posted on the Fair’s website – [intlink id=”4104″ type=”post”]Click Here[/intlink]
