Science Fair Details

The registration deadline for the science and engineering fair at SC4 is right around the corner. We are going to again use SC4's documentation as a basis for our projects here at Yale.

Take a look at page 9 from the science fair booklet. It shows the proper layout of the finished project. Additional detail can be found in the complete booklet.

For students wishing to enter the fair at SC4, I've copied the instructions below:

Here's what you need to do:
1) Complete your fair project! Do a great job, keeping in mind what we are judging you on. See the grading rubric in the booklet to remind yourself of the requirements, or email me at jgibbons@sc4.edu<mailto:jgibbons@sc4.edu> to get a copy.
2) Participate in your own school fair. If your school doesn't host a fair that's ok. Please contact me to let me know.
3) Register for the County Fair using the new web form here www.sc4.edu/science-fair<http://www.sc4.edu/science-fair> . If you are working as a group the registration form will allow you to sign up using one form for the group.
4) Send in your $10 registration fee per participate. Each member of the group needs to pay a registration fee since that is what we use for your shirts and pins, etc...Make checks payable to St. Clair County Community College. Mail your payment to:
SC4 Business Office
Attn: Science Fair
Room 220 Main Building
323 Erie St.
P.O. Box 5015
Port Huron, MI 48061-5015


5) Go to the SC4 College Center building on March 6th between 3:30 and 6 pm to set up your project. This is the same location it has been for many years now.
6) Check the website (I hope) for an update on which participants are invited back to the fair for a second round of judging. This judging determines the Grand Awards and the Best of Show awards. The top Blue Ribbon winners will receive a call to arrange for an appointment on Saturday morning to help the judges understand their work. This is required to be considered for a Grand or Best of Show Award.
7) All participants are invited back to the open exhibit time between 12-2pm on Sunday, March 9th. The Awards ceremony will be held at 2 pm in the Fine Arts Theater.
8) After the ceremony participants are encouraged to remove their projects from the College Center. Everything needs to be picked up by 5 pm on Sunday.
