Fair Day is almost here! We look forward to seeing your projects on Thursday, March 7, at the Columbia Center Mall. Here is some more information about the fair:
- Student Check-In is between 8-9am. Projects need to be set up by 9am.
- Enter through the MALL entrance next to JC Penney on the West side of the mall. (This is the mall entrance between JCP and Macy’s Men’s/Children’s). All other mall doors will be locked.
- The project entry fee is $5. If students are paying this individually at check-in, please bring exact change or a check made out to “Mid-Columbia Science Fair”.
- Students will receive two nametags when they check in. One needs to be worn for judging. The second is for the student to wear at the awards ceremony.
- Each student will be interviewed by at least 3 judges. Students should prepare a 3-5 minute talk about their project, then be ready to answer questions from their judges. The judges are excited to learn about your projects!
- Review the project display rules at: https://midcolumbiasciencefair.org/project-display-information/
- Bring a book or homework to work on during any down time.
- Lunch breaks will be staggered by division to reduce crowding. Students can purchase lunch at the food court, or bring food from home.
- The awards ceremony will be on Saturday, March 9, from 1-4:30pm at Chief Joseph Middle School (504 Wilson St., Richland).
- Project displays should be removed from the mall between 5-8pm on Saturday.
- Please ask if you have any other questions. See you at the fair!
