Cause

This is a fundraiser event!!! In the spirit of science and discovery, 100% of your $12 cash entry fee to the Science Fair goes cancer research at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital!!!

In order to maximize our donations to this cause, all entry fees must be turned into a school representative by January 20th, 2020 in order to participate in the competition.

There will be a donation bucket at the fair for any additional donations anyone would like to make.

Learn more about St. Jude's cause here.

What Do I Do for a Science Fair?

The answer is left open ended on purpose! Be creative, search for ideas. If you have a few general ideas in mind, just wait for the judging rubric to come out and see what will fit best! Your entry has to demonstrate a scientific principle, but the more creative the method, the better! You're welcome to invent something new or a model, and explain what scientific concepts it uses, or you're welcome to do a lab demonstrating a principle. The goal will be to construct/demonstrate a interesting scientific concept through a creative demo, model, etc. and present it through the concepts of science. As long as it connects back to science and you created the project, it's fair game!
