Monday-6pm-8pm Project Set-Up
- Be sure your project is labeled with your project number. The project number is found with your project information in STEMWizard.
- Remember to check what is not allowed in the science fair before you bring your project to the science fair.
- Bring your project to the Albright College Bollman Gymnasium.
- Parking is on 13th St. and on parking lot next to the gym.
- Set up your tri-fold board at the location labeled with your project number.
- A Safety Checklist will be at your project station. Fill in the checklist and ensure you can say “yes” to all the questions. Drop the checklist into the box labeled “Completed Safety Checklists” at the registration table on your way out.
- If you have any questions about items on the checklist you may ask any safety inspector on the floor your safety question. Safety inspectors will be wearing fluorescent RBSEF green vest.
Tuesday-1pm-3pm Student Interview Session
- Your school will arrange to bring you to the Albright College Gym for student interviews.
- It is important to keep as quiet as possible while waiting in the bleachers during the interview session so that judges can hear the students being interviewed.
- Be sure you know your project number and listen carefully for it to be called. Because it would be too crowded to have all students on the floor at all times, projects are called down to the floor in batches.
- Depending on the type of awards you are eligible for, you may be interviewed multiple times, and not all awards require interviews. There are several interview judges involved: category judges, special awards judges, and a fair-staff judges.
