STEM Exposition Guidelines 

• This is an expo-style (non-competitive) event 

• Students may work alone or as part of a team with other students or siblings

• Projects should be based on STEM related fields and they can select a topic of their choice.

• The main goal is for the student to learn how to document their question(s), conduct research, and summarize their conclusion(s)..

• Experiments are encouraged to follow the Scientific Method.

• Students should construct a display presenting their topic, the research they performed, and their conclusion/lessons learned. (A tri-fold poster display works well)

• Items on the display may be typed, handwritten, drawn, photographs, etc. 

• Please be sure to include your name and grade on your display!

• No live animals will be allowed. If you use live animals for your project, please bring in pictures or videos for your display.

• Practice your project presentation before the STEM Exposition. 

Remember to have fun!  Encourage your fellow STEM investigators and enjoy your classmates’ projects to see the exciting things they’ve discovered
