Rather than stand up in front of a group to do a one-off presentation. Participants will set up a table/presentation area for on-going short presentations/demonstrations in a “fair” format. Participants will have designated presentation time\, then also time to mingle as viewers/observers while others are presenting. \nIt’s a great chance to show off something that you have already learned in any topic of Science: Biology\, Chemistry\, Physics\, Earth Science\, Natural Sciences\, Astronomy\, Environmental Science.\nWe recommend projects that are hands-on\, interactive demonstrations or have samples\, hand-outs\, give-aways. You can do something that includes the scientific method\, if you want\, but it’s not required. \nAll participants will get a prize and certificate. There will not be judges to evaluate. This is a fun way to “tell others” something that you learned. You can do individual projects/presentations or buddy up with siblings or friends for your presentations. \nNote: We especially want to see presentations that go along with our Green Steps environmental projects: Litter/Pollution\, Recycling\, Repurposing\, Composting\, Pollinators\, Native plants vs. non-native invasives\, Healthy Forests\, Fishing\, Conservation–and MORE! \nBring your presentation/project and your own table/display. We will set up between 10-10:30. Presentation shifts will begin at 10:30. \nQuestions?
