This National Geographic documentary has been praised by critics as "extremely delightful," "brilliant and quirky," and a "celebration of the teenage science prodigies on whom our future depends." The film has won awards at both the Sundance Film Festival and South by Southwest, tracking the journeys of nine high school students from around the world as they face challenges such as competition, setbacks, and hormones while competing in the International Science and Engineering Fair. Among these gifted science stars is Kashfia, a soft-spoken Muslim girl from a sports-obsessed high school in South Dakota. Victory at the National Science and Engineering Fair could be her ticket to an East Coast college, where she feels she will be judged for her intellect rather than her headscarf; Marina and Gabriel hail from Ceará, one of Brazil's poorest states, and when the deadly Zika virus invades their hometown, this dynamic duo enters the lab and ultimately identifies a protein that can inhibit the spread of Zika; then there's Ivo from Germany, who challenges established views on aerospace engineering. Approximately 1,700 of the brightest and quirkiest teens from 78 countries face off, with only one contestant ultimately being named "Best in Fair." Directed by DuPont Award-winning and Emmy-nominated team Christina Konstantini and Darren Foster, "Science Fair" offers a groundbreaking opportunity to showcase the triumphs and motivations of exceptional young men and women who are changing their lives and the world through science.
