I'm ready to START!

Explore helpful guidelines for your category. Remember to record your learning journey (i.e. journaling, photos, video recordings, etc.)

How should I DISPLAY my project?

See the image for general guidelines for setting up a tri-fold display.  If you are doing a different type of project that does not include a hypothesis or other scientific sections, please just include the sections that are required from the info packets in your category below.  Your tri-fold display board should include the following:

    - project title 

    - participant's name 

    - participant's grade level 

    - important steps to the procedure for the category you chose 

                   (ex: show the steps you took to build your invention)

    - pictures or drawings that show your project in action

    - data or charts (where relevant)

I'm ready to share my journey of learning!


* Check out handout for your category to see what kind of information to include in your tri-fold. 

* Pick up trifold poster from office the office in January. Only available while supplies last.

* Practice presenting your project to your friends and adults! Here are some sample interview questions you may be asked. 

  Guest Reviewer Sample Interview Question 

I've been working on my project, but it didn't quite work. What do I do?

The focus of our STEM Expo is the journey of learning our inventors, designers, and programmers experienced. Truly, there is never a "finished" project as each design have opportunities for adjustments and enhancements! From 1.0 to 6.01 versions, the STEM Expo welcomes ALL projects!
