Registration
To participate please fill out the online Registration Form. Please note registration closes on Friday, March 15 to allow us time to plan final logistics. The experiment or project doesn't need to be done, or even decided on, by the registration deadline, we just need to know who is planning to participate. Spring Break will give lots of time to create and complete an experiment or project.
Science Fair Notebook
Remember to fill out your Science Fair Notebook as you are preparing and conducting your project. All participants are required to bring their completed notebook on the day of the Science Fair. The Science Fair Notebook is available to download in Microsoft Word, but let us know if you require a different format.
