Competition Requirements
The Young Scientist Competition is made up of THREE parts:
Experiment
Details:
1- You will need to display your project on a tri-fold display board. (These can be found at local stores)
2- Exhibit must not be larger than 76 cm deep (2 ½ ft. front-to-back) by 122 cm wide (4 ft. side-to-side) by 274 cm high (9 feet top-to-bottom)
3- Any display element that could be hazardous to the public is prohibited (i.e. drugs, caustic or flammable chemicals, microbial or fungal cultures, live insects, sharp objects, exposed hardware, exposed or frayed wiring which carries current, etc.)
4- These are individual projects only (no group or partner entries).

- The process or methods the students used in their research
- Data that was collected during the experiment
- A summary of the results and the students conclusion
Presentation
- The presentation is limited to four minutes per person. If a student exceeds four minutes, they will receive a penalty.
- Following the presentation, there will be a 3-4 minute question and answer session with the judges.
