What is the Science Fair?

The Science Fair is an opportunity for students to explore a science topic of their choice, work on their project at home, and display their work at the fair on the evening of April 23rd. Participation is optional for all grades and is on a first-come, first-served basis. The evening event is a chance for the whole family to explore student projects and interactive science exhibits.

Register to Participate

To participate, all young scientists must register in advance through a two step process. ‘Fill this online form’ and ‘pay the $15 registration fee’ . This includes a project board if needed. For your convenience, the Cascade Ridge PTSA will deliver the boards directly to your child’s classroom.

Early registration is encouraged to secure a spot and project board, as space is limited to 70 students. The final registration deadline is Sunday, April 4th.

Student-Driven Projects

Projects should be student-driven, with ideas and effort coming primarily from the students. Parents should use their best judgment when offering help, stepping in when safety is a concern or providing extra guidance for younger students. However, it’s important that all students can genuinely call the project their own.

Working with a Partner

Students may work independently or with one or more partners, such as classmates, siblings, or friends.

Need Help Choosing a Topic?

When it comes to choosing a topic, the sky is the limit! The best ideas often come from your own curiosity about how something works or why things are the way they are. If you’re having trouble thinking of a topic, we have a great page full of resources to help.

Judging and Awards

Our Science Fair is non-competitive. The goal is to encourage scientific exploration and promote a lifelong passion for science. No prizes will be awarded.
