I am indeed thankful to Intel to give me this opportunity.” Ishani Goomer and Khanak Bhargava also echoed similar sentiments.

Each of these students will get an ASUS Fonepad, the world’s first Intel® Atom™ Processor based 7 inch tablet. This device will be ideal for the students to carry with them for ISEF as it offers both communication features of a smartphone and entertainment opportunities of tablet in one device.

“Both IRIS and Intel® ISEF help bring to light, the wealth of creativity and innovation that exists in the country, which when motivated by inspiring ideas can lead to exceptional outcomes. These projects nurture the hidden talent existing within the youngsters of the country, encouraging them to create realistic solutions, through research practices, to scientific challenges that are vital for progress tomorrow”, saidAshutosh Chadha, Director – Corporate Affairs Group, Intel South Asia. ”
