So, you’re doing a science fair project! Whether a personal adventure or a school assignment, science research or engineering design takes time and, if approached with the right attitude, can be a lot of fun. With anything new, it’s always best to develop an idea of what to do before you actually begin doing something. Throughout these sections, you will find out how to do science research the “scientific” way as well as how to participate in the TRSEF. As with most anything, there are rules and procedures to follow.
