About

Bring your own science experiment or research presentation to share with others! Please note that this Science Fair is NOT a contest, but a school-wide event where we get to showcase our student scientists. There will be participation awards for all and feedback on the projects from Cottonwood teachers.

Additionally, there will be a Science Curriculum table that will showcase all the amazing resources we offer through the Lending Library. There will be a Science Experiment demonstration table, with take-home Science Experiment ideas, for the scientists who would like to continue their science exploration at home. Presenters will have time to visit these stations throughout the Science Fair.

Family-friendly event for all ages. Please make sure to reach through the different categories to ensure that the right ticket was selected for registration.

There are different categories to participate in if you are going to register:

** Middle school and High school students will be held at a higher 'bar' for their experiments/presentations (not graded for a contest but their projects will require more in-depth research, etc).
