10 talented Malaysian students will be competing among 1,557 young aspiring scientists and inventors at the International Science and Engineering Fair 2008 (Intel ISEF) in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Set to be held on 11- 16 May 2008, Intel ISEF is the world’s largest pre-college science competition with over 50 participating countries competing for scholarships and awards worth up to US$ 4 million.

This year, Malaysian participants will be showcasing their creative innovations that can potentially address issues that have stumped scientists for years. Among them are creating an online system for universal data regulation and management; inventing a Hybrid Electomagnetic Drum Brake System; developing a two-way communication method for the deaf and mute; finding treatments and prevention of stomach ulcer and gout; and developing an alternative way to produce electrical energy.  

“Intel recognizes the importance of providing opportunities for students to present their innovative ideas and sharing their passion for research on a globally recognized platform. It is our role to continuously mould the next generation of scientists and investors by encouraging them to push the boundaries of science research and eventually lead the world into the next generation of discovery, knowledge and prosperity,” said Ryaz Patel, country manager of Intel Malaysia. “The Intel ISEF is an investment in the next generation of scientists.”

"Providing the finalists with an international platform like the Intel ISEF to compete in is one of the many great opportunities for students to gain knowledge and insights into their future. The challenges they face while exploring the journey of discovery will prepare them to succeed in a knowledge-based economy," said Dato' Haji Alimuddin Haji Mohd Dom, Director General Education, Ministry of Education. 

"Over the years, we can see the projects produced by students have become increasingly advanced. This shows the growing passion for problem-solving and an enthusiasm for discovery amongst students that need to be fostered to eventually become a reality," added Alimuddin. 

The Intel ISEF, sponsored by Intel since 1996, is the world's largest celebration of science, showcasing the world's most promising young scientists and inventors. Since Intel became the title sponsor in 1996, the total number of Intel ISEF finalists has grown 40 percent - to more than 1500 students - and the number of participating countries, regions and territories has grown 70 percent - to more than 51 countries. In Malaysia alone, there are 58 students who have participated and winners produced in the competition through Intel's sponsorship.
