All participants will need to create a tri-fold display board and a Google Slides Presentation. To assist you with creating your presentation, please use the documents linked below.
Sample Google Slides Project Template (Please review for presentation details.) Your presentation should be no longer than 12 slides (and up to 10 minutes if you are using voice-overs/recordings)
Participant Project Rubrics (Please review for details on how your presentation will be evaluated. )
**If your project is in the ‘Engineering Category’ only, you may choose to use one of your slides to embed or link to a video demonstration/simulation/animation of your prototype (1 minute maximum).
Once projects have been reviewed and approved by the Prince George's Area Science Fair Scientific Review Committee (SRC), they will distribute project numbers.
Your presentation should not include the name of the participant or any photos of the participant. In an effort to ensure that all participant projects are based on the same criteria and rubric, it is necessary that all participants adhere to these specifications. (Please refer to the Google Slides Presentation Template).
Please remember to use the following naming convention:
*Project Number_Student First Name_Student Last Name (Example: S1205_Claire_Huxtable)
If sharing a Google Slides presentation, please remember to select 'anyone with the link can view'.
