K-3rd Grade Rules & Guidelines

Every kid is inspired by something, whether it’s baking, music, sports, or slime. Let your child take the lead (within reason of course) to choose a topic.  If you need some inspiration, there is a list of project ideas linked below.

While we understand some parent involvement is necessary for the younger grades, the project should primarily be the student’s work.

Above all, remember that messes and mistakes are part of the creative process, and any project that your child completes–and feels great about–is a genuine science fair success! 

Please make sure to also review the General Guidelines applicable to all projects.
