Innovative, young change agents. They are gathering to change the world for the better and collect a chunk of change to help pay their way to college. That’s what’s happening at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) May 11-16 in Atlanta, GA.

It’s world’s largest annual international pre-college (grades 9-12) science competition where some 1,500 high school students from over 40 countries are showing their research projects and vying for more than $3 million in awards and scholarships. Voice of America just aired an informative audio report about the science fair.

Here’s a video looking back at last year’s contestants and ahead towards a new class of competitors who are hitting the road this week for Intel ISEF 2008. You get to see Dr. Oren Shriki, the passionate science teacher from the Israel Arts and Sciences Academy, who shares his love for working with young scientists who are naturally creative, eager, determined yet still impressionable.
