Projects for each category must be unique and cannot be entered in more than one category. The only exception is in the case of a large multifunctional project that has several elements, each of which could stand alone. Students may participate in a maximum of 2 projects.

Projects are to be designed and created by students. Some adult guidance is allowed, but it must be clear that all work entered by students was done by the students.

Schools may submit up to two entries per category. Schools may elect to have preliminary fair/judging to determine the entries for the district level competition.

All categories are open to team competition unless it is specifically stated the category is for individuals. Teams should consist of no more than 3 people, with exception to high school robotics teams.

Students MUST attend and present the project on the day of the Fair. Teams must have at least 2 of the members in attendance.  Each participant must have a parent consent form to participate at the district level.
