    Steps for a Successful Science Fair  There is a ton of information to help you. Please read.

    There are three ways to participate.

    Compete in the Science Fair. Your project will be judged.  Top projects will compete at the Cobb & Paulding Regional Science Fair. Winning projects advance to the Georgia Science and Engineering Fair and possibly the International Science and Engineering Fair. 

    Create a display of a science, math, or engineering topic of interest. The display will not be judged, but it will be available for the public to view.
     
    Lead a science, math, or engineering activity for elementary and middle school students.
