The Memphis and Shelby County Science and Engineering Fair (MSCSF), dedicated to academic excellence through the application of scientific discovery, has been held consecutively since 1954. The MSCSF is affilliated with the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel-ISEF). "An Intel ISEF-affiliated science fair is a science competition that is a member of the Intel ISEF network. These competitions exist in 46 states and the District of Columbia, and over 40 countries and territories. All Intel ISEF-affiliated science fairs register with Science Service and must consist of five participating high schools or 50 students in the ninth through twelth grades. Fairs are conducted at local, regional, state and national levels." |
