The Internet Science and Technology Fair (ISTF) is the 21st century science fair that challenges students to research how National Critical Technology (NCT) applications may be used to solve real‐world problems. They use information technology tools while adhering to guidelines based on national science content standards. Students develop critical thinking, research and reading/writing skills as they work on‐line with practicing professionals and publish their final research findings in a webpage format for preliminary and national rounds of judging.
Since October 2010, two hundred and fifty three student teams (representing 948 students) were enrolled in ISTF competition. At the end of February 2011, 120 student teams submitted their research findings in a website format. Following the preliminary round of judging, 60 teams advanced to the final round with nine student teams emerging to capture top awards in the 14th annual Internet Science and Technology Fair(ISTF).
One among the nine student teams that emerged as winners ,is the team of Oakridge International School, Newton Campus .
These students will be receiving “Meritorious Achievement” certificate awards from the National Medal of Technology and Innovation at the US Department of Commerce.
