All projects for the STEM EXPO need to have a category.  This is how EXPOs organize their projects during the event.  Students may need your help to pick a category and a subcategory that their project fits in.  The Google Document below contains links to category and subcategory descriptions.  This can be assigned in your Google Classroom.
