Basic Information about the Fair

The Academic Fair is like a science fair, because students complete projects and present them on a specific night, but it’s open to more subjects, including science, history, engineering, health, architecture, language, writing, geography and more.  The only requirement is that students answer questions by reading about, making, or doing things, and then show what they've learned by creating a presentation for the fair.

There are four parts to all eligible projects. Children must:

• Choose a topic they are interested in.  Go here to learn more.

• Come up with a question that they really want to answer.  Go here to learn more.

• Figure out how to answer that question.  Go here to learn more.

• Present what they've learned at the fair.  Go here to learn more.

To help get you started, we listed examples of different types of projects on this page.
