Albuquerque, New Mexico was the site of the INTEL International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) on May 13-19, 2007. Perched on an uplifted mesa, with its extinct volcanoes and mountain ranges, the city played host to over 3000 students, chaperones, and parents at this impressive event. ISEF brought students together from 50 countries, with finalists presenting over 1500 projects. The excitement started on Monday, May 14, with the opening ceremonies highlighting Native American and Spanish cultures that have influenced the area for centuries. On Tuesday, a panel of six Nobel Laureates was asked very thought-provoking questions from student finalists, including Yang Ge, from Stanton Prep., resulting in an impressive and exhilarating two hour discussion. Over 900 judges from New Mexico's colleges, universities, and corporations, along with professors, scientists, and other members of the scientific community, who traveled from all corners of the world, interviewed finalists on Wednesday to discern category place awards, special awards, and government awards. Thursday and Friday concluded this gala event with three awards ceremonies, presentations by community leaders and corporate sponsors, and fun activities for all.

Northeast Florida Regional Science & Engineering Fair was privileged to send four individual projects and two team projects, totaling eight students to the International Science & Engineering Fair. Daniel Murphy, finalist in energy and transportation, Meredith Boulos, finalist in Environmental Management, Tess Peterson, finalist in Animal Sciences, and Will and Greg Kennedy, team finalists in Medicine and Health attend Episcopal High School. Bing Han, finalist in physics, and Vincent Dang and Yang Ge, team finalists in mathematics attend Stanton College Preparatory School. Two additional students were in attendance as official observers, Nathan Monroe from Episcopal High School and Katie Paulson-Smith from Stanton College Preparatory School. Grand awards were presented to Daniel Murphy-third place, Meredith Boulos-fourth place, and Vincent Dang and Yang Ge-fourth place in their categories. Meredith Boulos also won a Special Award of first prize from the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, and first place from the United States Air Force in the category of Environmental Management.
