The Ohio Region XIII SEF is an Intel ISEF-affiliated science fair. It is a science competition that is a member of the Intel ISEF network. These competitions exist in every state in the U.S. and over 40 countries. All Intel ISEF-affiliated science fairs register with Science Service and must consist of five participating high schools or 50 students in the 9th-12th grades. Fairs are conducted at local, regional, state and national levels.

Before participating in the Intel ISEF, a student must compete at an Intel ISEF-affiliated science fair. Each affiliated fair can send two individual project finalists and one team project to compete in the Intel ISEF.


The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) is the world's largest pre-college celebration of science. Held annually in May, the Intel ISEF brings together over 1,400 students from more than 40 nations to compete for scholarships, tuition grants, internships, scientific field trips and the grand prize: a $50,000 college scholarship. Science Service founded the ISEF in 1950 and is very proud to have Intel as the title sponsor of this prestigious, international competition.

The students who compete in the Ohio Region XIII Science and Engineering Fair will be judged by two sets of judges.  One set will be judging them based on the ISEF judging criteria  for the regional competition.  The second set of judges will use the OAS judging criteria as stated in the Science Day Standards for the District Science Day competition.
