I-SWEEEP, a science fair open to high school students, brought 470 projects from 70 countries and 43 U.S. states to Houston. Houston will again be home to the fourth I-SWEEEP in May 4-9, 2011 at George R. Brown Convention Center. The contest aims to create an educational platform for young researchers to take on today’s challenges in energy, engineering, and environment with projects presented at the fair.
