Science Fair Project Approval Forms Video Tutorials

This page contains information and instructions on how to properly complete the Intel ISEF Project Approval Form (commonly called PAF). This PAF is based on the SY2014-2015 forms. While I have designed this to be as general as possible, my primary goal is to assist our target audience who are the students and staff of Hightower High School. Consequently, there are information in this video tutorials that pertain only to our campus.
