In addition to the 2026 finalists, 1,700 local students and educators from Arizona schools were invited to explore STEM interests and their own scientific questions at Intel® Education Outreach Day, a unique learning experience offered as part of the largest science fair in the world! Thanks to grants for transportation and substitute teachers, 24 schools from across Arizona were able to bring students to experience this one-of-a-kind STEM event. Intel® Education Outreach Day was made possible through support from the Intel Foundation, Aramco, The Burton Family Foundation, Jacobs and Pivotal Foundation. Education Outreach Day helps students connect their curiosity with real-world applications in AI, advanced manufacturing, engineering, and scientific research. Intel® Education Outreach Day left educators inspired to bring the excitement of scientific discovery back to their classrooms.
