Parent / Guardians
We get it...
You hear that your child is required to participate in their school science fair and you cringe a little. You know that they already have tons going on: early mornings, school, then homework, maybe lessons, then more homework, and now a science fair project that you'll probably need to help them with on top of it all? We understand.
We made this page to help with the process of helping your student complete a successful science fair project. We also welcome your feedback on how we, as a fair, can improve our processes to make this experience more fun (or at least less painful).
We'll add resources and ideas to this page as we go, but in the mean time, please let us know if you have any ideas on how we can improve the science fair experience.
To get started, here's an outline of things we will include here:
Info. Coming Soon- Why even 'science fair' at all? Why is it important?
- How to help your child choose an interesting project & get it done relatively stress-free?
- How to make sure your student is learning something along the way?
- How to help your student be as independent with their project as they can.
- How to help your student prepare for the actual competition & speaking with judges.
For now, we've made some great videos for science fair teachers to help their students with the science fair process. Turns out they have great info for parents & guardians too. So check them out if you have time.

Another great resource to review is a how-to book created by past students. This helpful guide includes tips & advice for how to choose a project, keep a journal, make a great display board, and a review of the judging process from the student's perspective.
So... why even "Science Fair" at all?
