WELCOME to AVRSF INFO and ON-LINE REGISTRATION:
Please read, Carefully
Due to increase in number of participants and unexpected weather experienced at last years' fair we have made some important schedule changes for the 2008 Science Fair. We will start set up of posters on Thursday night this year in order to allow the judges adequate judging time. Interviews will be held on Friday (late afternoon and early evening). Exhibits will be open to the public on Saturday morning and awards ceremony will begin at 1:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon. Also, due to increase in costs in running the fair the participation entry fee per students will be increased to $10.00 this year (a $2.00 increase).
Please Read January 29th 2008 update:
New Important Note: Registration day is one day earlier Thursday from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Students are not required to be here that evening. One representative from each school can register all their students and set up their student's projects. This will alleviate hotel costs for an additional night (Thursday night, Feb 21). Students are required to be present for their interviews with the Judges which starts at 5:30 p.m. Friday (Feb. 22). It is important to show up prior to judging interviews (4:30-5:30 p.m.) and check for any safety or SRC violations so that they can be addressed in time.
