Fair Day is almost here!  We look forward to seeing your projects on Thursday, March 13, at the CIC Building at WSU Tri-Cities.  See the schedules and maps page for maps and driving directions to the CIC Building at WSU. Here is some information about the fair:

• Student Check-In is between 8-9am.  Projects need to be set up by 9am.
• Enter through the main entrance for the CIC Building.
• 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 on Saturday.
• 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/
• Students with Informed Consent forms for their project should bring those to the fair so they can be reviewed by the SRC.
• Students who completed 1C Forms (Regulated Research in an Institutional/Industrial Setting) should bring those to the fair.
• Bring a book or homework to work on during any down time.
• Lunch breaks will be staggered by division to reduce crowding.  You’ll receive this schedule at registration. Students can purchase lunch from the Food Trucks (tacos and hot dogs) that will be outside the CIC or bring food from home/school.
• The awards ceremony will be on Saturday, March 15, from 1-4:30pm at Chief Joseph Middle School (504 Wilson St., Richland).
• Project displays should remain up until 5 pm on Thursday, then be removed from WSU between 5-7pm.
• Please email registration@midcolumbiasciencefair.org if you have any other questions.  See you at the fair!
