Turn Your Project into a Winner
Just consider the time that you spent on all the science experiments that you made before choosing the final project for the fair. I am sure it was quite a fun and adventurous journey till the final product. Now take a look at how it will appear to an outsider. Sure you know what caused that scratch on the surface, but the judge will not.
So once you have your working model you need to pretty it up. If possible slap some paint on to it and spruce it up. Snip away any dangling threads and wires which serve no purpose. Wipe the shiny surfaces clean. In general make it look good.
Now turn your attention to the display board that will be placed next to the project. What all information will it give the reader? Make sure that all the pertinent facts are stated. At the same time don’t crowd it with too much writing. If you are using diagrams, make sure that they are neatly drawn.
If the project is based on a working model of a scientific experiment, make sure you explain it on the display board. If you are using current, make sure you check all the circuits after you set up. Some projects like this one here will need batteries and so make sure you carry them.
Cater for all problems that you might encounter. Then set up the project in your allotted space and sit back to enjoy the fair.
