Features of Good Exhibit
The exhibit must be original in design and content. Its scientific principles should be substantiated with data collected through experimentation. Engineering projects should have substantial innovation over the existing solutions. Here are some desirable features:
-
Working model, clearly demonstrating a science concept OR an engineering solution that addresses a real-life problem
-
Innovative solution, which is original, or a substantial innovation over existing solutions or explorations
-
Used a scientific approach
-
Data generated validates the scientific concept or efficacy of the suggested solution.
-
Effective display and documentation clearly cummunicating the scientific principles and procedures.
-
Relevance to real life
Features to Avoid
-
Static models
-
Embellishments, especially using thermocol and plastic
-
Expensive components that are not commonly available
-
Custom manufactured components
-
Programming projects without human interfaces
