Creation Project

Video Guidelines

Introduction: Name, grade and title of your project

Arrange your video presentation in this order:

• Purpose: What inspired you to create your project? Why is your topic important?

• Function: Explain your creation. How does it work?

• Challenges and solutions: What problems did you face while creating your project? How did you fix them?

• What you learned: What did you learn from this project? Why is it important?

Video presentations cannot exceed 5 minutes.

Report Guidelines

• 1. • • Synopsis of the Project

• Describe the project concept what the report will include.

• What lead you to choose this concept? Why does the project align with the project category you chose?

  • Ex) If the project is labelled as a Technological or Mathematical project, the student must explain why he/she chose that label.

• Consider this section to be a background and thesis for the rest of the report.

• Suggested 4-5 sentences.

• 1. • • Problems/Solutions

         • Discuss what problems you faced throughout your project.

         • Note: The project report will record these difficulties, but will only be graded on the quality of the description.

         • Suggested 1 paragraph. Depending on the number of difficulties or opportunities, this may increase or decrease.

       • Summary of Process

         • Please include the daily logs of the project’s progression.

         • Outline the testing process of the project, including how testing was conducted and at what points in the project.

           • Ex) If it is a program, how was the troubleshooting conducted?

           • Ex) If it is a physical model or technological project, how was the testing and fine-tuning process conducted?

         • Suggested 2 paragraphs.

       • Project Conclusion

         • Describe the outcome of the project. Describe the look and/or functionality of the final product.

         • Reflect on the final product. What could have been done different to make the project better, or easier to make?

           • Ex) If physical or technical, consider noting a better choice of materials or better organization of the components.

           • Ex) If it is a program, consider noting a better usage of algorithms or abstractions or perhaps even a more relevant programming language.

         • Consider reflecting on how the project could affect the modern day.

         • Suggested 1 paragraph, 5-6 sentences.

         • Cite resources.

           • No plagiarism is tolerated. Any plagiarism will, at minimum, result in a loss of all points in the corresponding category. Any student that submits plagiarized work will be reported and may be disqualified from the fair and their school administrators contacted.

       • Note: The project report will be included in the grading for the project, but will not be the main source of that grade. The majority of the project’s grade will rest on the presentation, and the project report should only be used as a supplementary document to detail the full information of the project.
