<p>Does winning state sci fairs like the Synopsis Science Fair of California have less value than winning national ones such as the Intel ISEF?</p>
<p>isn't Intel international?
i think you have to win something to even get into Intel
of course Intel is way better cuz its WAY harder
it's kinda like USAMO vs. local math contests</p>
<p>ISEF is international.
You have to win your local fair and be nominated to compete at the ISEF level.</p>
