Creating Your Project Tri-Fold Board

The project tri-fold board is an essential ingredient to a student's success at the Coriell Science Fair!

Tri-folds are one of several components judges consider while making an evaluation. An excellent tri-fold should clearly outline all of the required project information – abstract, purpose, hypothesis, research plan and conclusion with supporting data – reflect the student's mastery of the subject matter, and also demonstrate creativity and a passion for science!

Standard-sized tri-folds are 36" tall and 48" wide and can be purchased at several retail stores in the area (Michael's, Staples, A.C. Moore).

Student Tri-Fold Regulations

Please make sure your tri-fold adheres to the following guidelines:

• Students are not permitted to include their last name anywhere on the tri-fold or on any of the displayed materials (notebook, documents, etc.)
• Students are not to display the name of their school or use a school mascot or school colors when designing their tri-fold
• A completed copy of the project abstract must be attached to the tri-fold
• For projects that require Form 1C (Regulated Research Institutional/Industrial Setting Form) or Form 7 (Continuation/Research Progression Projects Form), students must attach a completed copy to the tri-fold (can be attached to the backside of the board)
• Students should bring copies of completed human subject consent forms, if applicable, as judges are permitted to review them

Please consult the ISEF Display and Safety Regulations for additional rules.
