This year we are offering students in grades K-8 the opportunity to join the District 44 Science Fair.  We are hosting the Science Fair live and in person at the new Connect 44 Center!  We will be collecting registrations and reports online this year.  We have a FAQ document that will answer all of your questions and provide helpful directions to help with the technology requirements.  In addition to the 2023 Science Fair packet, which includes everything you need to know, we also have a one-page family reminder document which includes form links and due dates.  We hope that these digital links will provide quick and easy access to everything that you will need.   We recommend printing this document and posting it on your refrigerator or desk at home.

For any families that are new to our District 44 Science Fair process, please download a copy of our 62-page packet for the 2023 Science Fair.  This will be your essential guide to make sure that you understand everything that you need to know to have a successful science fair experience.  This document includes definitions, samples, ideas, judging rubrics, step-by-step guides, paper versions of our reports that are useful when running experiments, and so much more.   Please take the time if you are a new family to look over this essential guide!!

This year we are very excited to continue to use our online registration process. Please click on the link below to register through a Google form.  We will also be collecting the Science Fair Report through a separate Google form.  Please watch the due dates listed below!
