Science Fair Resources

Science Fair projects are a great way to have students explore the science and engineering practices  emphasized in the Next Generation Science Standards. These resources will help you through different aspects of the Science Fair process.

For CRS members ONLY: If you would be interested in having scientist volunteers to help with science fair judging or with science activities during a family science event, please make a request and we can try to connect you with volunteers. The more advanced notice you can give us, the better your chances we will be able to connect you with a STEM professional.
