<p>Is it possible to succeed in Intel ISEF without a mentor (I guess I would have to figure out my own project)? Is lab research necessary for each project?</p>
<p>Yes and no.</p>
<p>good advice.</p>
<p>no, you really don't need a mentor to do well. </p>
<p>i know of many kids who did well at isef with a project done at home...as long as it's clever and applicable.</p>

DAMNIT. My chem teacher used to say that...drove me mad. Explain yourself! :P</p>
<p>Any examples of quality mentor-less projects?</p>
<p>i think he meant yes to the first question, and no to the second.</p>
<p>Yeah I did mean that.</p>
<p>But when the same questions are being asked over and over again, it's not a matter of being ignorant anymore. Clearly, the OP knew the answer to his question, but only wanted reassurance to boost his confidence. </p>
<p>Any examples of quality projects? I don't know. Don't worry about it.</p>
