Students can choose ANY science topic they are interested in (like volcanoes, the water cycle, or how mold grows).

Team Size: Projects can be done alone or in pairs (maximum of 2 students).
Focus: The main goal is for the student(s) to be able to speak with passion and knowledge about their project’s science and results.
Judging: Winners will be chosen in two groups: Grades 1–2 and Grades 3–5.
