Abstract

0 ALL PREVIOUS records will become obsolete when the 17th International Science Fair opens in Dallas, Texas, on May 11. The Fair itself will be the largest in history with more nationwide, state and regional fairs participating. More finalists than ever before, all of them high school students in the 10th, 1 1th or 12th grade, will be competing for international honors awarded by the ISF, Federal agencies and professional organizations. A record number of judges is expected to study the finalists' projects, discuss their work with the hopeful young pre-scientists and argue the relative merits of projects within each field of science. There will be more awards for outstanding exhibitors to take home and more recognition to open doors of opportunity into laboratories, universities, summer jobs and eventual careers. It is a safe prediction, based on previous fairs, that the science projects will reflect greater sophistication and that the finalists will be even more impressively informed about new research and current hunches of professional scientists.
