Posted by: McQ on Wednesday, May 14, 2008 Here's Intel's Chairman, Dr. Craig Barrett talking about what this event is all about: You can tell by Barrett's reaction that is indeed an event he looks forward too each year. Frankly, I can't wait to wade in tomorrow. Here's another blogger with much more video talent in his little finger than I have in my entire body giving you a bit more of the flavor of the fair. The categories the finalists are competing in include: Animal Sciences (94/17/43/51) Behavioral and Social Sciences (105/14/43/62) Biochemistry (63/14/22/41) Cellular and Molecular Biology (71/10/28/43) Chemistry (79/5/41/38) Computer Science (78/17/63/15) Earth Science (30/5/12/18) Engineering - Electrical and Mechanical (143/15/117/26) Engineering - Materials and Bioengineering (105/17/71/34) Energy and Transportation (71/13/44/27) Environmental Management (102/18/45/57) Environmental Sciences (135/26/53/82) Mathematical Sciences (68/12/44/24) Medicine and Health (156/24/69/87) Microbiology (79/15/25/54) Physics and Astronomy (90/17/52/38) Plant Sciences (88/12/37/51) Totals (1557/251/809/748) The numbers you see breakdown like this (total finalists in the category/previous ISEF participation/Male/Female) By far the largest three categories are Medicine and Health, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering and Environmental Sciences - so I'll spend a good portion of my time tomorrow in those areas. But I've got at least one project in each area circled as a must see. And since many of us are interested in what's going on with alternative fuels, I'll spend a little more time Energy and Transportation. I'm also up for taking the "global warming" temperature there. Last but certainly not least, I'm also up for a righteous robot or two. Here's a video of a young lady who makes ball lightning in her garage. Yeah, pity about that laser, huh?! Anyway, camera in hand, I hope to be posting a lot of pics tomorrow and perhaps a video or two. Fired up and ready to go - oh, wait, isn't some political campaign using that? |
