Display Board Text

Having a good display board is of paramount importance to any science fair project. We spoke of the visual aspect of the display board relating to images in the last blog post, here we speak of the text that you will put on the board.

Text can be both hand written or computer printed for the display board. All you need to ensure is that the size is legible from a distance of five to six feet and that the font you choose is not so fancy as to interfere with understanding the words printed out.

Besides the size and font you will also need to consider what all information you want to give out in the display board pertaining to your science fair project. Not all details need to be shared here. Consider leaving out a few things so that the judges can question you about these obvious omissions.

That way you will get a chance to impress them with your oratory skills and in depth knowledge of the subject you have picked for the science fair project. To explain the basic details of what the project is all about on the display board, but don’t flood it with all the theory that you have picked up.
