Each student is required to write an abstract what they should display alongside their project. Your abstract should provide a synopsis of the project highlighting the key points that are included in your project. Include enough information in your abstract that will enable the judges to have a basic understanding of your project. Avoid using too many details or discussions in your abstract. We recommend that you present such detailed information in the form of a written research paper or use them as part of your project display board. 

Participants should submit a copy of their abstract using our registration form. 

A successfully written abstract includes the following sections:

Purpose of the Experiment 

• Explain why you have chosen this topic and why you are preparing this project. 
  
• Provide a statement of your research problem or hypothesis.

The abstract is not a place where you should include your biography.
