“There’s a great deal of personal satisfaction and inspiration to be gained by supporting motivated, future scientists and engineers,” said Steven G. Zylstra, president and CEO of the Arizona Technology Council. “The Intel ISEF is a valuable STEM education initiative and we strongly encourage the community to become involved by becoming a judge or a volunteer.”
