Intel hosts local talents at Intel's International Science and Engineering Forum in the United States

In the presence of the ministry's two secretaries general; Basil Al-Kaylani, Royal Jordanian Media Manager and Rola Habash, Intel Education Manager in Jordan and Lebanon; Dr. Tayseer Al-Nouaimi, Minister of Education said, 'We are extremely proud of these students. I am certain that they will honour our nation and deliver excellence in this prestigious event'.

Twelve students have been qualified to participate in Intel's International Forum after presenting six individual projects and three group projects.

Among the individual projects is a device that reduces environmental pollution resulting from vehicles, and a natural dye that detects live sperms. In addition, there is a system that reduces the emission of gases from heavy industries among the group projects.

'The Intel International Science and Engineering program, which is active in more than 45 countries, reflects Intel's commitment to enhance the educational process evidenced by Jordan's participation in this year's forum,' said Rola Habash, Intel Education Manager in Jordan and Lebanon. 'This forum brought together more than 1,500 students who competed for prizes worth around $4m in cash and scholarships.'

Intel's International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) is among the world's top international science fairs for students in grades 9-12, providing young talents with the chance to qualify in different scientific fields: sociology, chemistry, biochemistry, botany, computer science, geology, engineering, environment, mathematics, medicine and health, microbiology, physics, astronomy and zoology.
