“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
