Taking a Closer Look at Science Fair

摘要

Spring is the usual season for science fairs, so I thought I'd check out 2018's documentary film from National Geographic, Science Fair. After a quick introduction from Jack Andraka, the 2012 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) winner, the film jumps into the 2017 science fair season. We see young people from the United States, Germany, and Brazil who all aspire to qualify for the 2017 ISEF finals event in Los Angeles. Within the United States, we see students from Kentucky, South Dakota, West Virginia, and New York, which is a nice cross-section of the country.
