STUDENT GUIDELINES
DO YOU HAVE ANÂ IDEA?
Students are encouraged to work in teams on their projects. You can work in groups of up to 5 students.
​
If you already have an idea for a project, that's great. If you don't you may want to try out Science Buddies to help you get started.
​
Don't get frustrated. Sometimes getting started can be challenging at times. Don't give up. Ask your teacher for help. Get your friends interested.
As yourself these questions:
​
What is your passion?
What are you interests?
What problem do you want to solve? And Why?
