15 Dr. Nelson Ying Tri Region Science & Engineering Fair Thoughts … Starting a science fair is NOT a cookie-cutter process. Do you want a: 1.Poster fair so kids think about STEM topics not in the curriculum? 2.Noncompetitive science fair with experiments & parent interviews? 3.Competitive science fair with actual judging? Don’t be nervous … these are doable, too! Let’s look at options! Part 2: The Starter Version Part 3: Competitive Fairs

16 Dr. Nelson Ying Tri Region Science & Engineering Fair More thoughts … Don’t be suckered in by vague memories of baking soda volcanoes in your past. Science fairs today are far more interesting even at the poster level!
