Each of these types of projects contain a research component, an experimental component, a data collection and analysis component and a concluding component. Projects that are pure library or Internet research without an experimental component are not acceptable. All entries must be accompanied with an abstract of the project. The abstract may indicate that the project is still in progress if the work has not been completed at the time that the entry form is to be submitted. That will be on the display.
All students are to be present for the judging.
The fair will be open for public viewing following the judging of the projects. An awards ceremony will be conducted that afternoon in room 162 of McEver Hall. The displays may not contain any live animals, microorganisms, flames, chemicals, liquids, pressurized gases, high-voltage apparatus, exposed electrical connections, or anything else that could be considered a hazard to the viewing public. The Fair Director will have final say on all questions regarding safety. If there is any doubt on whether or not to bring a certain item, it is usually best to have a good picture of the item instead.
