This National Geographic documentary has been praised by critics as "exceedingly delightful," "brilliantly eccentric," and a "celebration of the teenage science whizzes upon whom our future depends." The film has won awards at both the Sundance Film Festival and the South by Southwest Arts Festival, and it follows nine high school students from around the world as they confront various challenges such as competition, setbacks, and hormones while competing in the International Science and Engineering Fair. Among these gifted scientific stars is Kashfia, a mild-mannered 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 hopes to be judged by 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 vibrant duo enters the lab and ultimately identifies a protein that could inhibit the spread of the Zika virus; then there's Ivo from Germany, who challenges conventional views of aerospace engineering. 1700 of the brightest, quirkiest teens from 78 countries face off, but only one will be named "Best in Fair." Directed by DuPont award-winner and Emmy-nominated team Christina Konstantinidi and Darren Foster, "Science Fair" provides a front-row seat to the triumphs and motivations of an outstanding group of young men and women who are changing their lives—and the world—through science.
