Traditional Science Fair Backboard
Traditional science fair backboards can be used to display student projects. We ask that these backboards have the following dimensions and that they can remain standing without additional support:
Maximum width: 3 feet
Maximum depth: 15 inches
Maximum height: 6.5 feet
"Overloading your brain may cause you stress and change how you eat"

Performance / Live Demonstration
Performances or live demonstrations can be used to illustrate the Cause and Effect of a STEAM related topic. We ask that the performance time be limited to 15 minutes.
"Dance of the Molecules"
Digital Display
Projects can be displayed using technology. For example, students can create a website, digital comic book explaining a scientific phenomena, or an animoto video to illustrate parts of a computer or simple machine. The possibilities are endless!
