Science Fairs: Three biggest obstacles & proposed solutions Improve quality of SF projects. –Integrate project based learning as a teaching methodology –Provide training for Regional SRC to elevate standards –Offer new training courses to teachers. –Establish mentorship program for students with scientists and professionals. Increase participation of engineering projects –Obtain Gov funding for the National Engineering Fair thru a decree. –Coordinate teacher training program with the Ministry of Education to reach rural schools. Judging process needs to be improved in order to standardize quality of judging in institutional, regional and national fairs. –Create a guideline for the judge profile to be distributed to all institutional fairs nationwide. –Modify fair manual and expand training initiatives. –Create SW program to help standardize process.
