CSF - Connecticut Science Fair

Influence the Judges!
Whether you performed you're experiments at a university research laboratory, took over your parents' kitchen, or used your brother/sister as your project, everyone has the potential to really impress the judges. (Projects involving human subjects require prior approval).

We've put together a lot of information to help you get everything you did and learned into your reports and onto your display. Remember that the judges make a lot of decisions during preliminary judging - when you are not there. Clarity may only be 10% but if you're conclusion is based off of data buried in a report you've lost points in the 30% category of Scientific Thought/Engineering Goals and probably some points in Thoroughness, 15%.

You don't need to be an aspiring artist to put together a display that clearly highlights your accomplishments.
