Our Reflections on the Intel ISEF Educator Academy

• The event allowed to us identify an entry point to Intel ISEF• Being in direct contact with stakeholders from around the world,

learning BKMs, opportunities,

• Learning how to ‘think BIG’

• Realising that our country is behind others; feeling a challenge to step up to the mark; at the same time, realising our potential and feeling empowered to submit workshop proposals

• Being in such close contact with Nobel Laureates! Was the most impressive single event

• Direct, down to earth approach of the whole event; we felt very much welcome and mentored; we felt to be as important and welcome as participants who have taken part for years

• The shop talk with the Alumni was most inspiring, helped us identifying with the whole experience; extremely useful was also Jack Franchetti’s workshop on Talking Science

• What was missing: for new teams, a Help Guide with contact names for specific questions and issues
