STUDENT GUIDELINES
DO YOU HAVE AN 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?
