Inquiry-Based Learning at it's Best!

Welcome to the Fair

Check out this video to learn about the Fair's E-Fair option!

The Academy of Science - St. Louis Science Fair was the first in the nation to offer an e-fair option.  The e-fair option is an exciting opportunity for students to:

• Gain experience in preparing real-world technical presentations
• No need to drop off your project at the Fair -- submit it online!
• "Go Green" by reducing material use and waste
• Save money by not buying display materials

Make sure your school will allow e-fair projects. If your teacher is not aware of the e-fair program, please point them towards this page! You will complete your science fair research as you would normally, but instead of preparing a physical display, you will prepare an electronic presentation according to the e-fair rules. E-fair projects are due on a different schedule than projects at Queeny Park, so be sure to pay close attention to the e-fair rules.

Just like projects built on a physical display, your e-fair project will be viewable to judges at Queeny Park on computers set aside for e-fair purposes.

1. Rules:  The project (experiment, research, etc) must be completed following all of the rules of the Academy of Science -  St. Louis Science Fair.
2. Two files must be turned in (uploaded) with each e-fair project:
   1. PowerPoint for the Project Presentation - The presentation file (powerpoint) must have no more than 20 slides or pages. It should contain everything that would normally have been displayed on your project board. Pictures, text, and scanned drawings are all acceptable. Please follow the same rules as for projects that are presented on boards. 
      You will upload your powerpoint for judging.
   2. Word Document for the Log Book - The word document is you log book. See log book in website for general guidelines.  You will upload your word document logbook for judging.
