Fair Resources for Students

Other resources:

Work on something you are interested in: You don't need to know all about your topic when you start. That is the whole idea of doing research. Good projects are ones that you have fun with.
Start early: This gives you more time for research and to polish your presentation.
Get lots of help: There are many people that can help you with your project: teachers, mentors and parents. They can't do your project for you but they can teach you about all sorts of things including how to use tools needed for your research.
Make a plan: It takes time to learn and do research. Your teachers plan out the entire year for courses you take. You need to meet deadlines too but you can keep your schedule simple. Keep track of things you need to do like creating an abstract, doing research and writing a research paper (suggested for junior and senior division).
Do your best on all project aspects: Great research does not make a great project if you do not present it well. Aspects of the project like writing a paper or making a presentation board may not be at the top of your list of interesting things to do but they are all needed to make a great project. You will find it easier and more fun as you become better at doing these chores.
