This action plan outlines the high-level goals and objectives for the Alameda County Science and Engineering Fair affiliated with Intel ISEF. Our long-term goals include implementing science inquiry in middle and secondary schools and fostering research-focused clubs, aiming to increase fair participation reflecting the diversity of Alameda County. Short-term goals involve launching a new county-wide Intel-affiliated Fair, establishing mentor networks, and recruiting diverse participation while ensuring all county districts join. Success will be measured by participation rates and support structures for students and teachers.
