- ScienceMONTGOMERY, the Montgomery County Science Fair is an Intel ISEF (International Science and Engineering Fair) affiliated regional fair and as such is bound by the Rules and Regulations for Intel ISEF. ScienceMONTGOMERY has developed Special Guidelines/Regulations that are modeled after the Intel ISEF International Rules and Guidelines. The purpose of these guidelines is to promote safe student research.
- Any student in the Montgomery County area, public and private schools, as well as home-schooled, grades 6-12, may be eligible to participate. Student participants/exhibitors must be sponsored by a scientist, science teacher or laboratory staff member. This sponsor is responsible for familiarity with the participant’s research plan and safety requirements, as well as making sure the student safely follows all relevant Fair rules. You do not need to be sponsored by a school.
- Schools that sponsor student researchers are encouraged to utilize a local school Science Fair Liaison to attend training sessions and communicate critical information to teachers, sponsors, and students regarding the fair.
- ScienceMONTGOMERY, the Montgomery County Science Fair Association, is an independent, all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization. We are supported by the generous donations of our Sponsors and the valuable time of our volunteers and Judges. We welcome students from all Montgomery area schools—public, private, religious and home-schooled. To help support this effort as a sponsor, Judge, or volunteer, contact us at fairdirector@sciencemontgomery.org
- See our Policies page for important policies that govern the fair.
- Projects should be submitted in the following categories. The fair director may move your project to an alternate category at her sole discretion. Team and Individual projects will be judged together in each category. All prizes awarded shall be at the sole discretion of the judges and the Fair Director.
- Behavioral and Social Sciences
Includes psychology, learning, perception, educational assessment.
- Biology
Includes plant biology, animal biology, biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology, microbiology, health and disease, dentistry, marine biology. Depending on the project, some projects formerly placed in environmental science might fit this category.
- Chemistry
Includes nature and composition of matter, geology, pollution. Depending on the project, some projects formerly placed in environmental science might fit this category.
- Computer Science
Includes hardware and software development, internet networking and communications, graphics, simulations and virtual reality.
- Engineering
Includes technology, practical applications of scientific principles, design, aeronautics, transportation Depending on the project, some projects formerly placed in environmental science might fit this category.
- Mathematics
Includes development of formal logical systems or various numerical and algebraic computations, and the application of these principles—such as calculus, geometry, abstract algebra, number theory, statistics, combinatorics, or probability.
- Physics
Includes theories, principles, and laws governing energy and motion, astronomy, weather, electricity, magnetism and optics.
- The objectives of the Montgomery Area Science Fair Association/ScienceMONTGOMERY shall be:
- To encourage and promote interest in engineering, mathematics, science and science education in the youth of the Area.
- To encourage area-wide participation in such scientific activities as Science Fairs, Science Talent Searches, the Program of the Future Scientists of America, Junior Science and Humanities Symposia, Washington Junior Academy of Sciences and similar activities.
- To sponsor and finance the expenses of the Montgomery Area Science Fair.
- To bring together educators, supervisors, teachers, students, parents, engineers, mathematicians, scientists, and friends of science to facilitate the solution of problems related to education.
