It is our goal at Science Service Inc. to whet the appetite of our youth to participate in science there were a number of exciting and Engineering Fair (ISEF). The 1995 ISEF, Science Service Inc.s 46th annual science competition, was held this past May in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and attracted in excess of 1,000 high school age students from the United States and more than 36 other nations. fairs and, ultimately, to pursue careers in the sciences, continues racial backgrounds historically schools, the government and the China, Venezuela and Columbia The students, in disciplines ranging from Biochemistry to create learning environments and career opportunities for our future scholarships money than ever the long run. Inarguably, the World Cup of these many fairs is the Science Service Inc. and Science International Computer Science.

This marks the fifth Frennet of the University of Brussels, Dr. Joseph Lahr and the year in a row that the minority population has increased. Students from Service Inc. was founded in 1921.

As you can see, the ISEF is an ongoing and growing event, the face of which keeps changing, says Dr. McLaren. It has been a fascinating experience to watch the ISEF develop and diversify over the years. Next years competition will be held in Tucson, Arizona, and were expecting nearly 1,200 students from 40 countries to participate. Hopefully, there will be additional corporate sponsors and further funds for student scholarships. Success stories abound about students who have participated in ISEFs and ventured onto careers in the sciences. Hartley D. Peavey attended several fairs in the 1950s, and now he owns Peavey Electronics Corp., which manufac- tures sound equipment for rock musicians. Michael Ruberto of New Jersey won an award at a 1986 science fair. These days, hes a senior rid- a research scientist at Ciba-Geigand development company, where he works on finding methods to keep sunlight from fading plastics. Those are just a couple of the countless stories out there, said Dr. McLaren, and were looking forward having a hand in creating many, many more such stoiies.
