At the Science Fair itself you'll present your project. To do this you'll have a display board and a table such as in the video below. You'll be able to talk to students who will come round to see the projects, and practice your explanations. Then, later on, judges will come around and look through your materials, talking to you about your project to see what you've been up to.

What do I need on the day?

For the presentation and the quad chart you can click on the heading to get more detail.

I. Project Title, Author, and a short abstract (250 words)

The abstract summarises the information contained in the rest of your submission. An abstract includes: (a) the research question or engineering problem, (b) procedures used, (c) data, (d) interpretation and (e) conclusions. It also may include any possible research applications. It should be limited to these essential elements. Consider using the summary created by the Quad chart to inform this narrative.

II. Project Presentation

a. The project presentation is the primary vehicle to present the content of your project. Appendix II provides complete instructions of the format requirements and recommendations.

b. There are five suggested templates based on project type:

i. Science Projects,

ii. Engineering Projects and

iii. Mathematics/Computer Science Projects.

iv. Demonstration or Explanation model

v. ‘Library’ research or Informational project

c. Project presentations will be required to be submitted by a set deadline and will then be locked for printing prior to competition.

III. A Quad Chart

a. The quad chart summarises the project in a single page for a quick overview by the judges.

b. This representation of your project is intended to be only a summary and to be visual in nature.

c. Appendix III provides complete instructions with format requirements and recommendations as well as sample templates
