Following the academic-contest side of the “Intel International Science and Engineering Fair 2019” (Intel ISEF 2019), held last week in Phoenix, Arizona, the Society for Science and the Public and the Intel Foundation jointly announced the Grand Awards for student science projects in 22 fields. Among the winning student teams from around the world were eight from Thailand, who received awards and cash prizes for their stand-out projects. Suwarong Wongsiri, deputy director of the National Science Museum, on Monday said that with the support of the Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation Ministry, 17 Thai student teams had participated in this year’s science-project competition at “Intel ISEF 2019”. While not every Thai team had won in its category, Suwarong emphasised that all 17 had outstandingly represented Thailand in the international academic competition side of the event, and in doing so had “added fame for the country”. The eight winning Thai student teams are from Mahidol Wittayanusorn School, Phitsanulok Pittayakom School, Phanomsarakham Phanom Adun Witthaya School, Damrongratsongkroh School, and Princess Chulabhorn Science High School Phetchaburi.
