Galway Central School District Science Fair
Register to participate.
All young scientists wishing to display a project at the fair must register in advance through this online form. We strongly encourage early registration in order to reserve your space and your project board. Final registration deadline is January, 26, 2018.
Projects should be student driven.
Project ideas should come from the students, and the project should be driven by them. Parents should use their best judgment in deciding when to get involved, such as when there is a potential safety issue. For especially young kids, parents may provide some guidance, but it is important that the kids be able to call the project their own.
Working with someone else.
You may work on your project independently, or you may optionally work with a partner who is also a student at the Galway Central School District, for example, a classmate or a sibling.
Need help choosing a topic?
When it comes to choosing a topic, the sky is the limit! What have you wondered about? The best topics come from your own genuine curiosity about how something works, or why something is the way that it is. But if you have trouble thinking of something on your own, the internet is full of resources to help you choose a topic.
Judging and awards.
The main goal of our science fair is to encourage scientific exploration and discovery and promote a deep lifelong passion for science, however, cash prizes will be awarded to the winning participants. Each participant will have an opportunity to briefly present their project to a judge, and they will each receive a ribbon and a certificate.
Submit your photos!
Parents are welcome to take pictures while your young scientist is busy conducting that wild experiment, so sneak out your digital camera and capture some shots. Then upload them here.
Volunteers needed!
A big event like the science fair wouldn't be possible without the help of numerous volunteers. We have all kinds of different jobs to be done, so if think you can spare an hour or two on the day of the fair, we would love your help. Please contact Jeanine Flinton at jmflinto@galwaycsd.org and sign up now!
