I was thinking on writing so...Those are great tips. I was thinking on writing something like this at some point, because I get a lot of people to my site looking for projects.<BR/>Originality is definately an important point. I've judged a few science fairs, and there are always so many similar projects. Music, laundry detergents, decomposing food items, and environmentally friendly alternatives for other things are always overrepresented. <BR/>The projects that I actually remember judging last year were the original ones: a controversial study on fluoride in tap water and a model of a hypothetical future evolution of a new type of shark. I remember being really impressed by both projects from the moment I saw them, because originality is what makes the first impression. The judges see the title and the display before they see the students, so even if you have a good story to tell, that is never the first impression. Your topic is, so it has to be good!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
