Delaware Valley Science Fairs

The purpose of this document is to provide the judges with a preview of your project so that they can become familiar with your research before viewing your full project on judging day.

​

It is important to remember that this is just a summary of the project and not the project in full. Please limit the document to the formatting guidelines so as not to overwhelm our judges with cumbersome documents. They will have plenty of time to read display boards and other documentation at the fair on judging day.
