The Planetarium Science Center (PSC), in collaboration with Intel Co. organized the Intel Bibliotheca Alexandrina Science and Engineering Fair (Intel BASEF) hosted by the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (BA) from 13-15 March 2011. The event was a success; this year, 63 projects participated in Intel BASEF; the students competed in all stages with enthusiasm and zest, introducing their creative abilities, scientific thinking, skills, and innovative ideas to the judges and the encouraging audience.


All projects participated in Intel BASEF received awards; however, the first three grand awards will represent Egypt in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) from 8-13 May 2011.
 

The first grand award went to Mohamed Magdy in the Engineering: Electrical and Mechanical category for his project “Cars controller by satellite (Car Protector)”; the second grand award went to Ahmed Hassan Hessen in the Animal Sciences category for his project “Living with Termites”; the third grand award went to Sara Mohamed Samir in the Behavioral and Social Science category for her project “Do you know your Memory?”. The Research and Development Innovation Program (RDI) will support the grand awards winners with their needs to complete their researches until arriving to the Intel ISEF.
Other prizes went to under age participants to encourage them to keep on track.


Best effort award: Adel Ahmed Elkasrawy for his project “Helper 5000” in Engineering: Materials and Bioengineering category.
