STEAM Fair Guidelines
General Guidelines*
Students may work alone or with a partner in the same grade (different classes are ok).
No classroom time will be allotted for projects – all work is completed outside of school hours.
Work exhibited should be done by the student(s). Help from parents, teachers, or professionals is fine, but the student must do his or her own work.
Project materials should not cost any more than $50 to build/prepare.
All projects must be approved by the Science Fair Committee.
Due to limited space, the project must be no larger than the width of the display board (48”).
Students are responsible for the setting up and removal of their projects. Set-up will be first thing on the morning of the fair, March 16th (students only, please).
Projects must be taken home at the end of the day.
There should be no “give-aways” distributed to students from project participants or stations ie: balloons, candy or other items.
If a food item is included it may NOT be consumed by any student during the Fair
Safety Guidelines*
For the safety of all, the following elements will NOT be allowed:
Projects requiring an electric outlet (battery power only)
No latex balloons permitted or other latex products.
No live animals, including insects such as butterflies.
Dangerous/caustic chemicals, drugs, or dry ice
Food or drink meant for consumption at the science fair
Use of heat, flame or explosives

*We reserve the right to turn away any projects that do not meet all guidelines!
