Although this comes to us as a result of our affiliation with ISEF, it is not tied to ISEF. Thus all grade 9-12 students will be eligible for these prizes.
2009 is the second year of I-SWEEEP. It will be done somewhat differently from last year: The Board of Directors of the VSSMF will nominate two winners from the junior section (middle school) and four from the senior section (high school) on the basis of abstracts alone. These nominees will be informed of their selection by March 12th. They will be given instructions on how to finalize their nomination. From these nominees, I-SWEEP will select up to three winners who will be invited to compete in I-SWEEEP 2009 in Houston, Texas, in April. The winners will be announced at the VSSMF Awards ceremony.
Last year, one of our winners, Ian Patch received the Honorable Mention award in Senior Environment category at I-SWEEEP with the project “The CO2 Emission Levels Using Shaded Pole Motors Vs. Using Ecd Motors In Refrigerators.”
