Agenda
Where’s California? Issues and Strategies Solution Tactics #1-7 Here’s California! Next Steps Q & A
Intel Confidential – Internal Use Only3
Access
Issues
Regional Fair Density– ~1 of every 5 counties
State Fair or Intel ISEF Funding and Resources
– start/sustain fairs– affiliations and travel – teacher support
Forgotten Areas– rural communities– underserved youth
Strategies
Affiliate Fairs ($) Align CA State Fair with
Intel ISEF Affiliate CA State Fair Start New Fair(s) Support Teachers Web Tools Rural Presentations Target Underserved
Intel Confidential – Internal Use Only4
VisibilityIssues
School funding cuts– Limited inquiry science (K6)
Science research is an unknown– HS: pass AP science tests– College: research thesis
HS students can’t do real research
Competitions unknown– Which ones and benefits
Disconnect with 21st Century Skills
Strategies
Support strong policies– Personalized learning– Standards: rigor/relevance– Alternate assessments
Expose students to fairs– outreach, observers
Expose/involve faculty to science competitions– benefits to students– high levels of work
Expose students to competition opportunities
Intel Confidential – Internal Use Only5
CultureIssues
Isolated Teachers– Reinventing wheel– Competing
Science – not for me– Nerdy, not smart, why
Science – purely for academic interest, not competition
Education costs rising sharply
Celebrate athletics not academics
Strategy
Connect Teachers– Critical friends– Share resources– Honor commitment
Increase prestige - IPYS Celebrate Student Success
– make it fun, cool, visible– local, state, nation
Existing programs– Connect to fairs, share costs
See in action – paint picture

Where’s California?
STS Problem: Huge Inverse Relationship 2X Population and ~1/10 Participation
CA STS Applicants in 2000 = 65 Highest State Comparison, New York = 870 Science Competition Participation CA:NY = 7% School-age Population Comparison CA:NY = 196%
ISEF Problem: Huge Inverse Relationship 2.5X Population and ~1/5 Participation CA Intel ISEF Finalists in 2000 = 25
Highest State Comparison, Florida = 112 Science Competition Participation CA:FL = 22% School-Age Population Comparison CA:FL = 250%

Tactic #2: Expand(1) Regional Collaborative
Intel ISEF Educator Academy Team 2010**
CA Science Research Collaborative 8 Silicon Valley Schools Collaborating
Partner Districts 6, At-Large 2 Focus is on research science and competitions
Mid-Year Results New Programs – 4 clubs and 1 course New SC Course - ISEF 2011 Finalist in 1st yr Intel Teachers Engage - resource bank, BKMs Students Doing Inquiry/Research = 560 (56 comp)

Tactic #3: Expand Geo Access
Affiliate Largest Unaffiliated Regional Fairs (Kern), Los Angeles, Orange, RIMS
Affiliate CA State Fair Added 31 additional fairs to 13 already affiliated fairs
Fill Large Fair Gaps Livermore & Tri-Valley (2010 to 2011 = 36% increase) Alameda County - in process with Chabot Science
Museum and Educator Academy Team in 2011**
Results for Access to Intel ISEF = 450% increase Pre CA Strategy – 8 fairs Post CA Strategy – 44 fairs

Tactic #4: Program - Proof of Concept
Low Hanging Fruit – UC COSMOS Educator Academy Team 2006** Four UCs (Davis, LA, San Diego and Santa Cruz) ~650 students UC Faculty to Intel ISEF and Intel STS Intel Promising Young Scientists: ~30 – UC faculty select
Intel ISEF observer, UC mentor, COSMOS scholarship Intel Research Fellows: ~128 students win ‘fellowship’
Results Built into applications Sustained w/in system 2010 – 33 students win
research grant and 100% complete research project
2010 - $52,000 prize money amongst 10 finalists

Tactic #5: Expand(4) Statewide Programs
Expand UC COSMOS Outreach Educator Academy Team 2011** Stanford University Programs
EPGY and RISE for gifted Initiate Intel Research Fellows
Include Graduate Mentors
Target 3-5 Additional Science Programs/year Present to students w/new video
While teaching staff how to present Promote all research-based science and science
competitions

Tactic #6: Disadvantaged Outreach
Target/Support Most Disadvantaged East Side Union High School District
Educator Academy Team 1999** 11 comprehensive + 10 other high schools Science Palooza District Fair (~1,000) Intel ISEF Grand Awards = 6
Science Research Collaborative #2 Focused on East Side UHSD Only
Stanford RISE Program – Raising Interest in Science and Engineering
Science Buddies Rural Outreach
