I am most impressed by the broad representation. However, I am left feeling that there is a lack of tools to assist the students to focus their energy and maximize the potential of their creativity. From problem definition to experimental design to data analysis and interpretation, and to managing the project, the students need clear guidance in these areas to help them focus their independent creative and critical thinking. For an event such as Intel ISEF, I believe an age-appropriate definition of &#8220;innovation&#8221; is also needed. Innovation for these students should be based on the elements (knowledge, tools) \u00a0in their &#8220;sandbox&#8221; and be a personal statement to their peers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spent two days this week as a Grand Awards Judge in the Environmental Sciences area of the Intel ISEF (International Science and Engineering Fair) that was in San Jose, CA this year.
