In addition to the standard SRC paperwork and the full project documentation/display presented on Fair day, we will be asking students to provide an abridged summary of their projects that the judges will be able to review prior to Fair day. It is important to remember that this is just a summary of the project and not the project in full. Please be sure to title your upload "Project Preview."
Required information:
- Project Title
- Project Category
- Grade level
- Abstract (be sure to use the same abstract that you will be including as part of the project, and approved on milestone 4)
- Artificial Intelligence Disclosure: Artificial Intelligence, AI, is a useful tool for scientific research.
It is perfectly acceptable to use AI in your research for the Fair. You are
required to disclose the use of AI - the specific AI tool that was used, cite the links to
the AI tool, and include the prompts
- You must include one of these two statements
- NO, I did not use any AI tools while working on my project
- YES, I did use AI while working on my project
- If you used AI, you MUST list the sites and prompts used
- Project summary – in 250 words or less, provide addition information for this project. Some things to include might be:
- Briefly describe elements of the project that excited you. This could be unexpected results, new discoveries, or novel methods or devices.
- Briefly describe elements of the project that may have been a detriment. Be honest, science is about discovery. Engineering is about creating new things. There is no failure, just the discovery of what didn’t work or what might not be true.
- Briefly describe further areas of research, new applications, or improvements to the experiment/equipment
- Novel methods or devices
- NO LAST NAMES OR SCHOOL NAMES
