More than 190 students and 57 teachers from the province registered in the fair with a total of 151 projects.
Winners of the fair will be eligible to compete at the National Science Fair, which will take place in Islamabad early next year.
Projects will be assessed by a panel of renowned judges, with winners eligible to compete at the 2015 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair which will be held from May 10 to 15 in Pittsburgh, USA.
“Intel has sponsored the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) for almost two decades now, and each year we witness tremendous talent flowing from all over the world. ISEF is a great platform for youth both academically and socially, as they interact with each other during mixers and ceremonies which helps them gain confidence and valuable experience,” said Naveed Siraj, country manager for Intel Pakistan.
“The competition starts off at the very basic level geographically and then grows to a provincial level, after which finalists from all four provinces prove their metal on the national stage and go on to represent Pakistan among 70 other countries internationally. I hope that students gain
more this year in terms of personal growth through healthy, constructive competition and make our country proud.”
