Getting started

Follow this simple workflow when planning a project:

  1. Pick a question — What do you want to find out or make better?
  2. Check the rules — See safety, ethics and age restrictions on the safety page.
  3. Plan your method — Define variables, controls, and how you will measure results.
  4. Collect data — Keep a clear logbook with dates, observations, and photos.
  5. Analyse & draw conclusions — Use simple graphs and clear wording.
  6. Prepare your display — Keep text readable, include a short summary and your best results.
  7. Practice your pitch — Judges will ask you about your methods and findings; be ready to explain clearly.
