Judging of projects begins at 9:00 a.m. and includes an interview with the student(s) by a team of judges. Awards will be presented at the Awards Ceremony in the afternoon at approximately 2:30 pm.
Judging standards are based on creativity, scientific thought, skill, clarity, and the student’s interview. Awards will be presented to the first, second and third place winners at each grade level with a grand prize being awarded to the most outstanding project.
In addition to trophies, each entry will receive a Science Fair participant medal. Sixth, seventh, and eighth grade winners, as well as high school, will be eligible to compete in the State Science Fair at the California Science Center in Los Angeles on April 28 – 29, 2014.
Following the judging, fair projects may be viewed by the public until approximately 3:30 pm.
