How To Participate

Adults

It is not too late to participate!  Head over to the mentor section and get some inspiration or simply answer the questions below in a short video/ a written blurb with a picture.

  • What kind of a scientist are you? 
  • What was something that got you interested in studying science?
  • Where do you work?
  • What do you do at work?
  • What is something that you find particularly exciting or interesting about what you do? 
  • Do you have a scientist you admire?
  • What are scientific disciplines, outside of your own, that you find interesting?
  • Is there a scientific question that you think is interesting and/or appropriate for a Hardy student to develop for the “create independent science projects” part of the Science Fair?

You might be partnered with an interested child to answer a few of their questions via email. We are hoping you will be available FEBRUARY 27 from 10am-11:00am to participate and help moderate the LIVE SCIENCE FAIR.
