ISWEEEP 2011: Winners from Gulen schools
by C.A.S.I.L.I.P.S. - Citizens Against Special Interest Lobbying in Public Schools CASILIPS on Twitter, Slideshare
The following is a list of projects identified so far as having won category awards at ISWEEEP 2011 and being from schools run by the Fethullah Gulen Movement. See the main page on ISWEEEP 2011 for an analysis of how this science "competition" is biased towards Gulen schools.
This list is incomplete. It is anticipated that more projects will be added to this list in the future.
Note: ISWEEEP does not give the school names associated with a project. The names of the students are therefore essential for tracking down the school. These names are given for information purposes only. None of this is intended to reflect in any way on these students.
